Looks like its working fine now with the IP fragmentation. I think it may have been because I didnt have the IP_FRAG_MAX_MTU defined as well as the IP_FRAG.

Cheers

Hi Patrick

Yes I did try with fragmentation enabled but that didn't seem to work. I can see in wireshark that there is a packet with IP4 type that mentions fragmentation , but I don't get any UDP packets.

Does Wireshark reassemble the fragments into a whole 4K UDP packet? Are you willing/able to share the Wireshark trace file (.pcap)?

I also did a test where I just send two packets of 1400, one after another, but only one get sent. I am wondering if I need to check some send buffer like in TCP?

I've had no problem using UDP reliably on the TIVA with LwIP.  Did you allocate enough buffers?

If I just allocate a pbuf of 2800 and then send it I dont actually get any errors, it just doesnt send anything.

Unless fragmentation was enabled, that's not going to get very far.

The problem is that I cant really do anything with the data in terms of adding sequence numbers, as I am developing the code for the TIVA for a pc application that is already defined. I kind of thought that UDP could send up to 64k. I am a bit surprised I cant just ask LWIP to send a large amount of data and then it send multiple packets.

So the receiver is already expecting a 4K UDP packet?  That kind of ties your hands, but I'm (pretty) sure you can get it to work with LwIP on the TIVA*.

* I don't think I've ever actually use IP fragmentation on the TIVA, but I'm sure it works (and if it doesn't, it can be debugged and fixed - it's not that complicated)

Hi

I have an application were I need to send around 4k of data using UDP. What I would like to know is how I go about sending this using LWIP. I can send small packets no problem. I first allocate a pbuf. Then copy my data to the pbuf. Then send the data. But sending 4k of data doesnt work. I realise that the Ethernet has a max payload of 1500 bytes. Is there a different way to send large amounts of data? Do I need to configure something and then do it the same way I have previously? I am using a embedded TIVA micro controller.

Thanks

Jon

Have you enabled IP fragmentation? (IP_FRAG)

Or you could just break up the data yourself, add a little custom header, and essentially fragment the data yourself. Depending on what's in this data, you could add sequence numbers and a way for the peer to report they missed a chunk? How often are you sending these blocks of data?
