You're quite right - there is something in the middle, and it does cause the symptoms you are reporting. A GPRS network has two essential elements: *Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN)-Sends data to and receives data from mobile stations, and maintains information about the location of a mobile station (MS). The SGSN communicates between the MS and the GGSN. *Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)-A wireless gateway that allows mobile cell phone users to access the public data network (PDN) or specified private IP networks. The GGSN acts like a proxy and is the device that sends the ACKs to the phone even though the session is already closed on the server side. I hope this answers your question.

I use it to communicate with GPRS devices on the other side. In most cases this works very well! But sometimes the things become strange. I've collected a bunch of problems where I would need help / advices / ideas. 1. I call session.close() from inside my server. It seems, that the session doesn't close as required. 2. I close the session. The GPRS device on the other side continues to send data and seems to get ACKs too. It doesn't recognize, that the other side of the connection (the server) has closed the session a while before. It seems that there is something in the middle which responds the ACKs even with not opened server session. Knows anybody one of the two (most painful) problems and has an answer for me? Best Regards Michael
