diekmann <diekm...@in.tum.de> added the comment: > How could it work? Before sending the actual data to the socket, send an empty packet to the socket and check if it is still alive. This may be a large performance issue on a lower level (if the connection is TCP, we want to wait for the ACK), but on a higher level, when using sendall() with larger arguments, it may be very convenient and the performance overhead may be barely noticeable. I guess when using high-level functions like sendall(), the bare funcionality is preferred over this performance issue.
