Guys, I have developed a code which uses raw sockets to transfer files. My code skips all the upper layer protocols,I have designed a small protocol of my own. Now to problem is, whenever I transfer a large file it creates a problem. If transfer a file of suppose 100kb or more, only 97.9 Kb is received, unlike in the case of files smaller that 97.9. What can be the problem ?? Does continuously sending and receiving of frames creates a problem ?? If any one is interested I can give you my code.. Thank you.
What transport layer are you using (UDP/TCP/SCTP/etc)? Does a simmilar transfer work if you use an actual TCP/UDP socket, rather than your raw one? If you're consistently getting 97.9k transferred, that almost sounds like some sort of firewall type connection limitation. Take a TCPDump from the peer to get a better idea of whats going on when the connection fails Neil
