- am writing a client application, which (unfortunately) is supposed to call
- a PC VB server program , using internet datagrams. My code is Hp risc unix C.
- Does anyone have tips about where I can learn how unreliable datagrams are,
- etc?. I need to figure out how to optimize my timeouts, and number of tries,
- but it is difficult to do so because I don't kow things like: are datagrams queued?
- What happens to a dtagram that gets sent when noi one is listenming? etc.
- I have read "unix network programming " by stevens, and the HP on line doc
- "Berkeley IPC Programmers's Guide", but neither givesme the overview that I am
- looking for. Thanks for any help!
