[lwip-users] TCP Retransmission when receiving consecutive packets

[Inujel]

Hello !

I use lwip in a MCU running a small TCP command server. The commands are
sent from a desktop computer. They have a body, and an optional payload. 

When I send commands with no payload, everything works fine. But when I send
a command with a payload (very small, about 6-7 bytes), the TCP transaction
takes many seconds to be acknowledged.

The Naggle algorithm is deactivated on the desktop computer, so the
command's body and payload are sent with two TCP packets. It seems that lwip
does not ACK those packets which are retransmitted at once a few seconds
later. When retransmitted as a whole, lwip accept it and everything finally
works.

If a activate Naggle on the desktop computer, it works fine (but I'd really
prefer to disable Naggle for some of our applications).

Here is a  wireshark capture
<http://lwip.100.n7.nabble.com/file/n22448/retransmission.pcapng>   of the
problem. Filter to TCP only for better visibility. The desktop computer is
192.168.1.2, the MCU running lwip is 192.168.1.12.

I am using lwIP 1.4.1 from a Keil µVision package, the netconn API and
CMSIS-RTOS on a STM32F107. I copy-paste my lwipopts.h at the end of the
message.

Thanks for your help,

Julien.
