Background documentationCommon Settings for Sockets

 

The sockets created by NI have set several socket settings differently from the operating system defaults.

Following setting will be set:

  • Non-blocking mode

  • Disable Nagle algorithm for client sockets (TCP no delay)

  • Allow reuse of address

  • No keepalive

  • Not remain open across exec (close on exec flag)

In addition on some platforms receive and send buffer size is redefined as well.
