hi,

I have a server app on a computer and some clients onto others computers
(classical).

The clients and the server ask every 10 secondes, if the other is alive.
Sometimes, there is a time out: the response never come. All responses come
back very quickly, less than one seconde. Even if i wait 60 secondes.

What is the reason ?

- Too much clients ?
- CPU is overloaded ?
- because of hardware ? (switchs, hubs,...)
- bad programmation ?

Is a tcp/ip packet can be loosen ?
(in this case is it valid to say that it's the reason ?)

thanks.
