If the socket listens on a port (i.e., is a server socket), there should be no issue with long periods of inactivity. (It's a different story with peer sockets but I infer that's not what you mean.) If the port becomes unreachable after a while, it's possible you have a time-based firewall rule somewhere that closes it off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "libuv" group.
