Hi Sean,
I've used python code almost identical to yours pretty successfully,
mainly for simple tests/debugging. Whether or not this is the right way
to build a bigger application depends on things like the data rate you
need to support, any additional data processing/formatting that needs to
be done, etc.
What form of "not working" are you experiencing? ie, an error message, no
data appears, data comes in but you can't keep up with it... or something
else?

Hi all,
I need to dump data from a ROACH board to a PC over the 10gbe. Do any of
you have any recommendations for what I should use as a client to handle
the incoming data?
I've been trying to use a simple Python client like,
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((ip_address, port))
data = s.recvfrom(1024)[0]
where "ip_address" is the address of the pc's 10gbe nic. This has
worked... only occasionally. And I'm not sure why it fails. Using
Wireshark I can see the incoming packets are coming in with 1024 bytes
from the ROACH as I expect. Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot.
Sean
