Function Documentation

◆ tcpCheckFinWait2Timer()

void tcpCheckFinWait2Timer ( Socket socket)

Check FIN-WAIT-2 timer.

The FIN-WAIT-2 timer prevents the connection from staying in the FIN-WAIT-2 state forever

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 393 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpCheckKeepAliveTimer()

void tcpCheckKeepAliveTimer ( Socket socket)

Check TCP keep-alive timer.

The TCP keep-alive timer feature provides a mechanism to identify dead connections. The other useful goal of keep-alive is to prevent inactivity from disconnecting the channel

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 240 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpCheckOverrideTimer()

void tcpCheckOverrideTimer ( Socket socket)

Check override timer.

To avoid a deadlock, it is necessary to have a timeout to force transmission of data, overriding the SWS avoidance algorithm. In practice, this timeout should seldom occur (refer to RFC 1122, section 4.2.3.4)

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 320 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpCheckPersistTimer()

void tcpCheckPersistTimer ( Socket socket)

Check persist timer.

The TCP persist timer is set by one end of a connection when it has data to send, but has been stopped because the other end has advertised a zero-sized window

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 183 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpCheckRetransmitTimer()

void tcpCheckRetransmitTimer ( Socket socket)

Check retransmission timer.

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 96 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpCheckTimeWaitTimer()

void tcpCheckTimeWaitTimer ( Socket socket)

Check 2MSL timer.

The purpose of the TIME-WAIT timer is to prevent delayed packets from one connection from being accepted by a later connection

Parameters
[in]socketHandle referencing the socket

Definition at line 419 of file tcp_timer.c.

◆ tcpTick()

void tcpTick ( void  )

TCP timer handler.

This routine must be periodically called by the TCP/IP stack to handle retransmissions and TCP related timers (persist timer, FIN-WAIT-2 timer and TIME-WAIT timer)

Definition at line 56 of file tcp_timer.c.
