LwIP Configuration problem

Altera_Forum · ‎03-23-2005

I follow the document " Using Lightweight IP with the NiosII Processor Tutorial " to optimize LwIP Throughput .

On page B-2 , it suggest that the optimal value of TCP_WND is 32768 . (The original value of TCP_WND is 2048 )

The TCP_WND effect the Maximum window size ( receive buffer space in bytes ) .

When I set the value of TCP_WND for 32768 , I can not receive total data that had been transmitted to my 1c20 board.

How to solve this problem ?

thanks a lot ~

I'm afraid you need to give a lot more detail if anyone is going to be able to help you. The best first place to start is to get a packet log using something like ethereal.

I use the simple socket server project which provided by NiosII IDE.

I modify the sss_handle_receive( ) in simple_socket_server.c and use sss_handle_receive( ) to receive data which sent by PC.

The sss_handle_receive( ) use the code as below to receive data .

rx_code = recv(conn->fd, conn->rx_buffer, data_length , 0);

For optimizing the LwIP Throughput , I use the NiosII IDE to set the value of TCP_WND .

When I set the value of TCP_WND for 32768 , the data I obtained is smaller than data_length .

But it is normal , if the value of TCP_WND is 2048 .

How can I do to solve the problem ?

thanks~

To solve a problem like this, you need to look at the packets actually being sent on the network. You need to get a packet log using a tool such as ethereal to narrow down where the problem is.
