Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Why am I dropping data over the UDP network?

[Ward, Marcus D.]

The UDP sink doesn't support complex int 16, so what would I be able to change 
the type to in order to come to a close solution for this problem? 

Also, I have lowered the sample rate to very small amounts such as 1e6, but I 
still lose packages on the receiving end. There is a 1-gigabit switch between 
the two USRP's, so it is a very simple network. I don't think the network is 
the problem.

No, building vectors out of streams would (in the best case) change nothing, as 
you don't send individual samples but always packets full of payloads.

Also, if you have a hardware device defining your data rate, you will never 
need a throttle, and having one will most likely only introduce problems, so 
remove it from your flowgraph. All throttle really does is trying to achieve a 
given *average* sample processing rate, and that interferes with the hardware 
*constantly* providing a sample rate.

A few numbers in my head: 500ksps = 500 * 32kbps = 16000kbps, not very much for 
a gigabit ethernet! So I think it's safe to assume that the physical network is 
not to blame here, and usually the CPU load, maybe introduced by network 
handling might be to blame, if this doesn't happen with a null sink.

Greetings,
Marcus
