~1 second TcpListener Pending()/AcceptTcpClient() lag
- by cpf
Probably just watch this video: http://screencast.com/t/OWE1OWVkO
As you see, the delay between a connection being initiated (via telnet or firefox) and my program first getting word of it.
Here's the code that waits for the connection
public IDLServer(System.Net.IPAddress addr,int port)
{
Listener = new TcpListener(addr, port);
Listener.Server.NoDelay = true;//I added this just for testing, it has no impact
Listener.Start();
ConnectionThread = new Thread(ConnectionListener);
ConnectionThread.Start();
}
private void ConnectionListener()
{
while (Running)
{
while (Listener.Pending() == false) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1); }//this is the part with the lag
Console.WriteLine("Client available");//from this point on everything runs perfectly fast
TcpClient cl = Listener.AcceptTcpClient();
Thread proct = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(InstanceHandler));
proct.Start(cl);
}
}
(I was having some trouble getting the code into a code block)
I've tried a couple different things, could it be I'm using TcpClient/Listener instead of a raw Socket object? It's not a mandatory TCP overhead I know, and I've tried running everything in the same thread, etc.
