[lwip-users] Handling of many small packages?

[TJO]

Hi

I use the tcpecho sample with FreeRTOS for EA dev kit.
I have re-written it so it makes connection to server, instead of listen.

>From the server i send 14 bytes in a packet
Then it sends 512 bytes in a packet.

Every time the tcpecho sample receives a message it returns 14 bytes



But if I send the 512 bytes in 128 bytes chunks (4x stream.Write(byEthRaw,
0, 128) ) from the server, it is just matter of time before it begins
generate a lot of retrans on my network and ultimate stop working.
According to the debugger the application still runs, but can't ping the
lwip and no data is send on the network. The debug output from lwip also
stops!

It seems it runs out for allocation space for pbufs.
The demo runs in internal PIRAM, so not a lot of space here. But I do not
generate that much traffic either.

If I don't send data back from the demo app it runs for ever!

I also have enabled filtering en the EMAC, so I don't get all the brodcasts
on the network.

Any suggestions what may be wrong? or where to adjust?

Code where i receive and send:

while ((err = netconn_recv(conn, &buf)) == ERR_OK) 
{
        do {
             netbuf_data(buf, &data, &len);
        } while (netbuf_next(buf) >= 0);
        netbuf_delete(buf);
        netconn_write(conn, dummy, 14, NETCONN_COPY);
}

The last debug info from lwip: (I use the serial debug viewer and it cant
handle that much data, so sometimes the debug text get partially overwritten
by a new line)
