Hi
I have a strange problem with lost broadcast UDP packets.
Since you don't see the loss when you reduce the load, it's possible
that the driver is dropping them. A couple of points:
- use a sniffer of some sort to see whether all the expected
packets get to the network (tcpdump, ethereal, ...)
- As Josh suggested, use multicast. That way, there is only
one copy of each message sent, and *much* less likelihood of
overwhelming the device's output queue (which, given the number
of packets, is the way to bet).
Regards,
Justin
