Top Forums Programming TCP/IP, how to verify delivery? Post 302416424 by DreamWarrior on Monday 26th of April 2010 11:46:44 AM

Thanks all, as I mentinoned, I can't modify the protocol to use any sort of ack because the protocol is already set.

I'll try what Corona suggested and see if the SIOCOUTQ ioctl gives me anything useful. I suppose I would have to send the data and, once it is all buffered up, loop until it drains.

All the other points, about knowing the recipient has read/consumed the data, I understand. I just have to deal within the confines of the protocol that exists...so I'm trying to do the best I can to make sure the data has at least reached the recipient host.

edit: Ugh, I just checked and SIOCOUTQ isn't available on AIX...and if it is, it isn't listed in any of the headers under /usr/include :-(. Is there an AIX alternative?

NAME
sockio - ioctls that operate directly on sockets SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/sockio.h> DESCRIPTION
The ioctls listed in this manual page apply directly to sockets, independent of any underlying protocol. The setsockopt() call (see get- sockopt(3SOCKET)) is the primary method for operating on sockets, rather than on the underlying protocol or network interface. ioctls for a specific network interface or protocol are documented in the manual page for that interface or protocol. SIOCSPGRP The argument is a pointer to an int. Set the process-group ID that will subsequently receive SIGIO or SIGURG signals for the socket referred to by the descriptor passed to ioctl to the value of that int. The argument must be either positive (in which case it must be a process ID) or negative (in which case it must be a process group). SIOCGPGRP The argument is a pointer to an int. Set the value of that int to the process-group ID that is receiving SIGIO or SIGURG signals for the socket referred to by the descriptor passed to ioctl. SIOCCATMARK The argument is a pointer to an int. Set the value of that int to 1 if the read pointer for the socket referred to by the descriptor passed to ioctl points to a mark in the data stream for an out-of-band message. Set the value of that int to 0 if the read pointer for the socket referred to by the descriptor passed to ioctl does not point to a mark in the data stream for an out-of-band message. SEE ALSO
