RE: [lwip-users] Window memory leak from retransmitted packets

[David Ward]

With  TCP_QUEUE_OOSEQ = 0  the link is established but my tacp_Recvd()
callback never fires.


I have checked the xilinx documentation for lwip 2.00.a (dated Jan 2007)
and it appears that Xilinx are using lwip stack version 0.7.2 !

Thanks for your help

Dave

Any idea what version of lwIP that corresponds to?  We're still on 1.3.0
as the most recent release.

You could try disabling TCP_QUEUE_OOSEQ and see if your problem goes
away.  If it does, that suggests packets aren't being from from the out-
of-order segment list.
