[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Socket problems

mikoh@IDA.LiU.SE (Mikael Ohlsson) (02/21/91)

I have some problems with a socket connection. To read and
write a character from a socket takes about 1ms each. To write 
an integer takes about 1ms, but to read an integer takes about 180ms.

My question is: Why does it take so long time to read an integer
from a socket?  
Has it something to do with setting up the socket?

The processes communicates via a stream-socket connection 
between two Sparcstations and the underlying protocol is TCP.

I don't know wery much about network programming so I would
really appreciate if somebody could give me a clue.
