SLES 9 vs. SLES 10
- by Michael Covelli
Are there any important change in how SLES 10 implements Tcp sockets vs. SLES 9?
I have several apps written in C# (.NET 3.5) that run on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. They've been running fine for over a year, getting market data from a SLES 9 machine using a socket connection.
The machine was upgraded today to SLES 10 and its causing some strange behavior. The socket normally returns a few hundred or thousand bytes every second. But occasionally, I stop receiving data. Ten or more seconds will go by with no data and then Receive returns with a 10k+ bytes. And some buffer is causing data loss because the bytes I receive on the socket no longer make a correct packet.
The only thing changed was the SLES 9 to 10 upgrade. And rolling back fixes this immediately. Any ideas?
