@ IOhannes Though I like this 'stable'/reliable behaviour of iemnet's [tcpserver], I wonder what happens, if it keeps sending data to the unreachable client. Will it just go on and buffer everything until the whole RAM of the computer is consumed? If so, wouldn't it be more wise to just disconnect that client at some point in order to avoid the box running out of memory?
you can query the fillstate of the buffer from within the patch and act upon that: if you prefer to disconnect after 300MB (because of the 2.5GB memory you have, 2GB are only swap), or if you rather go and crash or whatever...it's up to you.
Great! That's even better than to disconnect clients at some arbitrary buffer size.
What? It's better to crash the server than to disconnect an unresponsive client? And if the server itself loses its connection it will buffer 300MB for each client and then crash?
