Thanks Magnus for ur quick reply. Is there a tcp based implementation planned in the near future? What are the reasons of selecting udp as the preferred transport in afs or coda? thanks, som. >>> Magnus Ahltorp <map_at_stacken.kth.se> 01/24 5:15 PM >>> > I have this question for CODA ...

This means that there are no TCP connections between the client and the server. "Disconnected" is a state when the network between the client and the server is not able to forward packets (as in a offline laptop). For obvious reasons, the server cannot contact the client when it is offline. Coda solves this through reintegration when the client is back on the network. /Magnus map_at_stacken.kth.seReceived on 1999-01-25 00:22:44
