TCP window size error (18F97J60 and CCS TCP stack)
PostPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 10:34 am     Reply with quote

I'm seeing a curious error where the TCP window size seems to be wrongly reported by the PIC to the wire.

The trigger for the problem was user reports that comms just lock up with a Windows 7 host, while they are ok with XP hosts. That turns out to be because there is a difference between how XP and Win7 handle zero-window packets (sometimes Win7 doesn't behave 'properly'). But that's not the real problem, I think...

The window announced by the PIC (on a WireShark capture) seems to hover around 58000; sometimes as low as 55000 and as high as 61000. But the transmit and receive buffer sizes are set to the default 2k, so it's not something simple like a sign bit gone wrong. On other occasions, I have seen it swing from 5000 "down" to 63000. Again, that's an 8k swing, which is wrong.

Anyone else seen this, or have a plan for investigating?

Resolved. I copied all the very latest TCP library files and the latest device file, not that any seemed to have any relevant changes (I diff'd the lot of them), and now the window figure is rational.

Which TCP library version are you referring to?

Can you give us the date stamp on the working files in your TCP/IP?
The day month may vary ..it is the year that I'm interested in.

Stupid question: When have the CCS TCPIP examples provided for download the last time? My copy, downloaded in 2009 is of August 2008. Apparently it's not available now.

According to the download manager, the latest is dated 8mar2012. I think you have to be on maintenance to get updated stuff like this.

Thanks for the information. I'have an active subscription, but the TCPIP examples are not shown anywhere at CCS download pages.

P.S.: O.K., the code seems to be only accessible through the download manager. Don't know why. Substantially, it's still the MCHP stack V3.75 of 2006, which isn't neccessarily a bad thing.
