read system call hangs

[Jaydeep Chovatia]

Hi,

I am using "read" system call in my C++ project to read data from sockets. I have also set read timeout (SO_RCVTIMEO) to 5 seconds using "setsockopt",but when I run my application under load run then sometimes this "read" system call hangs, it neither returns data nor it times out.

Any suggestion/help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jaydeep

The best one I can offer here to to post to comp.unix.programmer where
socket programming is topical.

Or comp.protocols.tcp-ip which deals with (among other things)
socket programming no matter what the OS is.
