By having the client send an ACK upon receipt, i.e. have it send a "I have received your message #22" reply to the server. If you don't receive the reply in a timely fashion, assume the connection has timed out. TCP connections eventually timeout by themselves but that can take a long time, on the order of hours. > - if previous is impossible, how to check that my command is delivered? > > How to understand and when to use: > > socket.setTimeout(timeout, [callback]) > socket.setNoDelay([noDelay]) > socket.setKeepAlive([enable], [initialDelay]) > > > Could these methods help me? > > P.s.
