I'm using lwIP 1.3.0 for a
streaming music player. I've noticed that I generally have issues when playing higher bitrate streams from servers overseas. For example, I can play a 192Kbit stream from a domestic host with no problems. But, when I try playing another 192Kbit stream from across the pond, the audio buffer level is ok for maybe 5-10 seconds, then the buffer level starts dropping, and soon after, it no longer keeps up.
This occurs in every instance I've tried so I believe it's a latency/distance issue. Also, I can successfully play all these streams on my computer. I haven't tried Wiresharking it yet, but I suspect this may not tell me much being sort of an "obvious" problem to those who are well versed on this sort of thing. Plus, my computer's
ethernet hardware doesn't help much by hiding bad packets from me. What are the likely culprits as far as lwIP configuration? I have increased the number of pbufs some, but maybe it's not enough, or maybe I'm not addressing the correct parameters.
