To upgrade our 10.20 servers, we have performed a clean install of 11.00
We use wireless hand-held devices, and the users have noticed there is now a 4-5 second delay after each transmission.
It is just these hand-held devices which are affected. All other users eg. va hummingbird terminals, are all OK.
Would anybody have any idea if I have missed some network setting which would cause this?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: wireless devices slow after upgrade to 11.00
Thanks for the reply.
The devices connect using the lan via IP.
They worked fine under 10.20.
I'll get the network guys to see if they can see anything from their side.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean in your last sentence. What source code would I need to look at?

Login using telnet from another machine using the the same user ID and protocol as the wireless devices and see if normal commands are responding correctly. Then try the wireless programs (I am assuming that these wireless devices are not laptops but specialized handlheld data capture devices) to see where the delays creep in.

SolutionThe problem with TCP_NODELAY is that this can generate large amounts of small packets (not particularly good with wireless). TCP_DELAY loads up the packets before sending them out... anyway give it a try, change the telnetd line in /etc/inetd.conf from:
telnet stream tcp nowait root /etc/telnetd telnetd
to
telnet stream tcp nowait root /etc/telnetd telnetd -TCP_DELAY
and then issue inetd -c to reread the config.

Re: wireless devices slow after upgrade to 11.00
Now, one might also want to consider the applications being run to see why they would be spitting-out their output in such aparantly small parts.
Another thing to consider checking for the networking would be a tcpdump trace. For the application behaviour, perhaps a tusc trace.

Re: wireless devices slow after upgrade to 11.00
I can't thank you enough for your reply.
I was just about to restore back to 10.20 when I seen your post about tcp_delay.
Configuring this in inetd.conf immediately resolved our problem, so thank you for taking the time to reply.
I had a look at this file on 10.20 and this parameter was not used in our old inetd.conf file. Is is particular to 11.00?
