Sockets

Hi all,

I'm trying to port a game (sdl_sopwith) from linux and face a little problem with the network mode. Whenever I play in multiplayer, the game is very slow, and the bandwidth use is just gigantic (a 100mb/s switch isn't enough (!) ). By comparison, when two PCs play together, the only traffic is one integer each 1/4 sec...

I used ethereal to see what was going on and noticed that a SYN/ACK handshaking was made whenever one of the clients sent an integer, which seems highly useless... This seems to be the only reason why the game is so slow.

I looked through the code and what I saw was just normal linux socket code... Did I miss something in the code or is this something "normal" ?

Thanks in advance.

Pierre.
