TCP looks after this for you. As long as the host gets the same IP address, and the outage is short, then it will work. However, it also relies on the error not being passed back to the application (ssh probably). ie, if the card informs the driver that the cable was removed, and the app attempts to send a packet before the cable is re-connected, then the driver (may) return an error to the app, which may exit with an error. If the app doesn't send a packet while disconnected, or the driver doesn't return the error, then it will work as you saw.
In short, it can work, but not always :) Regards, Adam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvVE2cACgkQGyoxogrTyiV7xQCbB3KZFMJMfVF2nV+Iijpc3BXC 1NAAoI2SbleKQMMKhKxMwZRyCp2A9XrK =PFLD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
