ARTX: PACKETS LOST ON TCP/IP STACK
Information in this article applies to:
- ARTX-ARM All Versions
- ARTX-166 All Versions
QUESTION
I have implemented a TCP/IP application and I am using the PING utility to send periodic pings to the system. On a high ping rate it appears that packets are lost. Is this normal behaviour.
ANSWER
The TCP/IP stack provides the module ANet_Debug.c that may be used for debugging of the TCP/IP stack. When you send pings at a very high rate, the TCP/IP stack may output error text and due to the error output via a serial interface, the system may get slow.
To make sure that this is not the case on your computer, disable all debug output. Alternatively you may use a terminal program (such as Hyperterm) and analyze the debug output of your system. If there is a lot of output, your system may slow down.
