TCP_NODELAY: To Nagle or Not To Nagle (General questions)

Hi,

Is there any way to turn on/off Nagle (TCP_NODELAY option) in the sshserver componet?

When connecting with putty theres is the option under [connection] to turn off nagle's algorithum but it doesnt actual do anything when using your sshserver, like it does when say connecting to openssh server.

Just wondering if you do/will support this option or is it another problem related to windows?? The program we are working on needs this option to be turned on as its very latency related and nagle's makes a huge difference when its changed.

thanks,
peter

Hi Peter,

This function isn't currently supported in wodSSHServer, so this option in putty doesn't have any effect.

I'll check if we could support this option in wodSSHServer with our programmers, and will let you know as soon as I receive response from them.

Ok, thank you. Will keep a eye out for any news.

Hi Peter,

After talking to our programmers, we decided that we can't go into implementing this, since that would have an impact on the whole socket, as well as sending files etc.

Unfortunately, when everything is taken in consideration, it's unacceptable for us to implement it.

Hope you understand.

NP, thank you for looking into it.

Ill just keep smashing my head agiant this brick wall [:wink:]
