HI Peter et al - The netreceive outlet reports the number of netsends currently connected to it. This only gets reported for TCP protocol (UDP doesn't maintain connections).
I don't think netsend reports when an outgoing connection gets closed, but this might be possible to add (and I think it would be useful!) cheers Miller On Fri, August 13, 2010 09:06, Peter Plessas wrote: > Dear list, > > wondering what the exact meaning of the outlet of [netreceive] in TCP > mode is: > > Does it indicate whether Pd through the OS was able to open a port > or > does it indicate if a TCP packet arrived at the destination? > > And: Am I correct assuming that netsend only outputs a message when it > got a (send ...) message into its inlet?
