RE: [lwip-users] strange tcp connection issue

[Muhamad Ikhwan Ismail]

 
Hi,
 
On my implementation i have an telnet-like server for runtime system information exchanged.
A friend of mine had tested it and told me of the same thing though i havent seen it myself. I was planing on
doing some test next week. Apparently if he keep on logging in to the server frequently (per mouse click)
at some point the server stops listening and wont accept connections. The stack itself is still ok as other
program is running ok and the stack can be pinged.
 
Like I said i am gonna take a look at it on monday and i might have something to post. My implementation is the
1.3.0 release.
