Hi I did some further testing. It seems there there could be a limitation on the number of sockets or connections made. To speed up the failure result, I have setup a monitoring app that checks if the socket is open every 2 seconds(connects and disconnects). After 30 minutes, I can no longer access the listening port, although Windows netstat command still shows the port as open. The rebol app fails with the following error: ** Access Error: Cannot connect to listen port ** Where: forever ** Near: append output-ports first listen >> Does it mean there is a problem with my rebol script or does my code not release the every connection that is made. I have also noticed that the memory usage for the rebol app is at 6Mb when it starts, but gradually grows over time to 15-20MB. Thanks.

Its main function is to forwards a Multicast stream to any TCP listening ports. The script works 100%, but if there are a large number of requests from a remote PC to the listening port, the rebcore process seems to close the listen port eventually. This could sometimes only happen after a couple of days. Is there a limit on: - the duration of the listen port being open? - the number of requests that could made by the ?
