Dongsheng Song commented on LOG4NET-415:
----------------------------------------
Again, simple set Blocking to false is not correct async program, the prefer
async on windows is:
Do not set Blocking to false, just use Socket.Begin* API, e.g. use
{code:borderStyle=solid}
socket.BeginSendTo(buffer, 0, buffer.Length,
SocketFlags.Truncated,
RemoteEndPoint,
delegate(IAsyncResult ar)
{
Socket client = (Socket)ar.AsyncState;
client.EndSendTo(ar);
},
socket);
{code}
instead of:
{code:borderStyle=solid}
Socket.SendTo(buffer, this.RemoteEndPoint);
{code}

> Key: LOG4NET-415
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-415
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 1.2.13
> Environment: Any Windows environment
> Reporter: Jose Luis Pedrosa
> Labels: RemoteSyslogAppender
> Attachments: LOG4NET-415.patch, MessageLostTest.cs,
> RemoteSyslogNonBlockingv2.patch
>
>
> Sending UDP packages may block for some time in specific circumstances:
> 1) Next hop in network level 3 can't be resolved by ARP.
> 2) Datagram size exceeds FastSendDatagramThreshold configured size.
> When sending packets bigger than FastSendDatagramThreshold, the OS waits
> until the packet is actually sent, if the If the syslog (or the next hop to
> reach the syslog) is in the same VLAN/Subnet the OS tries to resolve by ARP
> the Ip of the configured syslog, this may take up to 3 seconds, slowing down
> the whole application, which in some cases can lead to outages (timeouts, DB
> locks...).
> Also the fact that each carriage return generates the headers of the packet
> again, that can lead to a significant overhead in some scenarios, for
> instance when loggign HTTP requests to a remote syslog, every header will go
> in a different message. Also some logging may require characters that are now
> skipped in patch: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-370
> I'm adding a patch that
> 1) Moves the use of UDPClient to Non blocking sockets, which eliminates the
> blocking.
> 2) Adds a configuration field to decide if you want Strict RFC Behaviour or
> not (with default Strict).
> Please your feedback, thanks in advance
