Packet rate using QTcpSocket
-
Hi,
I'm transferring data from a measurement server (Raspberry PI 3) to a client (Windows 7) using a QTcpSocket.
The data is a few bytes approximately every 30 ms. Each time I call write(data) on the QTcpSocket. The data reaches the client with an increasing delay. Wireshark shows me approximately one package each 200 ms.My object and conditions:
A camera records a frame each 30 ms and the server has to send position information for each frame. Both transfer goes through one common GBit network interface (and a switch). The camera is consuming most of the bandwith, but the VPN link to the server still shows no delay.Do you have a hint, how to to transfer the measurement data in real time (ideally once each frame)?

Hi @qmmj
increasing delay means that something needs more time every call. You should search for a structure, string etc. that gets bigger during the run. Could be a memory leak. I e.g. once had a string that got appended to every call which needed more and more time every call.

Hi m.sue,
that is what I wanted to express: The increasing delay means, that there is somewere a sending queue, which is filled faster (30 ms) than data is removed (200 ms).
This assumed queue is not part of my written code. A poor solution would be to reduce the filling rate by accumulating multiple data. In that case the delay is still 200 ms and I don't know how this behaves under other conditions.
A good solution would be to know where this delay comes from and to reduce it.
