irda buffs, quick questions about timeouts: the project i'm working on is pretty timeout sensitive. i have a requirement that i need to be able to unplug and replug a device with a minumum of wait time before the connection times out and resources are cleaned up. unfortunately, i don't know that much about lower layers of the irda protocol with respect to timeouts.
there's a sysctl entry that controls the max inactive time. does that specify how much inaction there is on the link before a timeout occurs? also, does the irda protocol have a keep-alive signal or does the application have to provide an equivilant? an additional concern is how timeouts affect discovery. in order to ensure optimal pnp interoperability, i'd like to be able to rediscover a device as soon as its plugged in. if the device was unplugged or the link broken, i believe the discovery entry for that device may persist after the timeout occurs and i have to wait until that entry is gone before re-discovering the device. does the irda stack automatically remove the discovery entry after a timeout? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks, Andrew Sutton [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
