Thanks to Kieran and Mr. Empson, increasing the window took care of the problem. Now it's perfect.
By the way, I have about 50K of buffer, so a couple seconds. --- On Wed, 3/3/10, Kieran Mansley <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kieran Mansley <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [lwip-users] Compensating for longer latency connections To: "Mailing list for lwIP users" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 4:37 AM On Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 09:57:12AM -0800, JM wrote: > I'm using lwIP 1.3.0 for a streaming music player.?

If you get sufficient throughput from the local network, but not when the connection involves a higher round trip time, that suggests that your TCP window is too small. To get the bandwidth you need, measure the round trip time, multiply by the bandwidth required, round up to a sensible number and set TCP_WND to that.
