TCP_CORK

heya!

I found something like TCP_CORK! It mean dont send data in buffer until i uncork socket ? Its right?

[Uzume]

No, not exactly. It means the TCP implementation will still send out data but only completely full TCP frames. Any left over partial frames will remain queued until either more data arrives that completes a frame or the "cork" is unstoppered.

You can think of this as like a _super_ Nagle algorithm that makes all outgoing TCP frames be "efficient".

ok, its nice Uncork socket flush data to network, when i finish sending. Is it true?

[Uzume]

That is how I understand it, yes.
