OK == false: when the RX packet's embedded CRC32 does not match that computed using the RX'd payload data. In other words, if there are RX errors in the RX'd packet's header, payload, or CRC32, then with high probability OK == false. On Oct 9, 2011, at 10:06 AM, bharadwaj desikan wrote:

Assuming you're using the thread-per-block scheduler, then you just need to make sure any data dependencies are met so-as to not hang the scheduler -- which I think would be pretty hard to do. See also gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/gr_throttle.cc. - MLD On Jul 18, 2011, at 3:15 PM, Colby
