Later posts indicate that it       is time sensitive market data. It might be that       it is better to get data sent and used by the       receiver than to wait around for more.              I suggested UDP might be better, to avoid a delay       due to retransmission such that data sent later would       be available to the receiver.              (That doesn't generally happen for file transfer, though.)              -- glen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
