HI Peter et al -
The netreceive outlet reports the number of netsends currently connected to it. This only gets reported for TCP protocol (UDP doesn't maintain connections).
I don't think netsend reports when an outgoing connection gets closed, but this might be possible to add (and I think it would be useful!)

Dear list,
wondering what the exact meaning of the outlet of [netreceive] in TCP mode is:
Does it indicate whether Pd through the OS was able to open a port or does it indicate if a TCP packet arrived at the destination?
And: Am I correct assuming that netsend only outputs a message when it got a (send ...) message into its inlet? So there is no way to indicate whether the receiving machine is online unless I keep sending heartbeat/ping messages?
thank you for your help!
