Hi gratuitous_arp

SIOCETHTOOL ioctl command allow to know is physical connection is present.

I my case, I have physical connection with a switch but the connection between the distant equipment will be broken during exchange. So, the TCP acknowledge will not be receive, TCP request will be resend as soon as tcp_retry is reach. After these retry, even if I have asked to send more data with the send command, no more data will be send from my computer to the distant computer (no more traces with tcpdump). After about 15 minutes, the recv command return with error "no route to host". But, I wanted to detect the socket disconnection after some secondes.

If you have any other idea, don't hesitate to propose it.

Regards
