I haven't thought about this very hard but what is the effect if I simply unplug a network cable and then plug it back in again? I would hope no effect - it should be completely transparent to any applications with TCP connections in progress.
It will depend, surely, on how long the cable is unplugged for and what the applications are doing. The man page says you can specify the poll time and latencies and that might have something to do with it all as well. Like so many questions, "it all depends" on specific circumstances. -- Sacred cows make the best hamburgers. --Mark Twain -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
