RE: [lwip-users] Minimizing TCP send delay with RAW api and multi-threading. |

Kieran,
I apologize, I mixed some verbiage in my description. I'm asking how to
minimize the delay from application data being ready, to the start of a
new TCP transmission.
My understanding is that I cannot call a tcp_write from other threads. I
think that means that I would have to wait until the tcpip_thread polls
my application to initiate a tcp_write and tcp_output.
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Could I just add a sys_timeout
to poll my application at a faster rate? This would ensure that the
tcp_write/output happens in context of the tcpip_thread.
Thanks,
Andrew

I don't follow how the timer delays will affect the speed of data being
sent. The timers are only really involved in this path for
retransmissions.
