Date: 12 Jul 84 1713 EDT (Thursday) From: uw-beaver!Mark.Sherman@CMU-CS-A.ARPA To: info-mac@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA Subject: DDP/MPP again Another solution to the problem of losing a completed DDPRead becasue of an Event Queue overflow is as follows: Create a new function DDPFailRd which uses the same test that OURSL does for an outstanding read request (buffer length 0 and socket 0). If the program has not gotten a read completion and expects one, it can call DDPFailRd to see if the socket listener is still looking for a packet. (Maybe a different name, DDPReadComplete? or DDPWaiting?) -Mark
