[icecast] my icecast problem

Hi,

I've managed to capture some output from the log tail using debug level
4.  I couldn't capture it from the beginning, and it seems the debug info
isn't sent to the log file (is there a way to do that ?)

Here's a snippet of the log being repeated a lot of times during the few
seconds that I notice the stutter :

-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:13] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick: -1 err [11]
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:13] DEBUG: client 14 in write_data(). Function
write() returned -1 of 4096 bytes, client on chunk 19 (+0), source on
chunk 10
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:13] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick: -1 err [11]
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:13] DEBUG: client 14 in write_data(). Function
write() returned -1 of 4096 bytes, client on chunk 19 (+0), source on
chunk 10
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:13] DEBUG: client 14 tried 2 times, now has 55
errors 8 chunks behind source

Through the errors, the number of errors seems to increase after a few of
these while the chunks behind source seems to decrease.

Just before the kick, I get ...

-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick: -1 err [11]
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: client 14 in write_data(). Function
write() returned -1 of 4096 bytes, client on chunk 19 (+0), source on
chunk 18
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: sock_write_bytes_or_kick: -1 err [11]
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: client 14 in write_data(). Function
write() returned -1 of 4096 bytes, client on chunk 19 (+0), source on
chunk 18
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: client 14 tried 2 times, now has 63
errors 0 chunks behind source

Here the chunks behind became 0.

A few of these and then :

-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] Kicking client 14 [192.168.1.21] [Too many
errors (client not receiving data fast enough)] [listener], connected for
20 minutes and 29 seconds, 19394260 bytes transfered. 0 clients connected
->[28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: Removing connection 14 of type 0
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: sock_close: Closing socket 12
-> [28/Feb/2001:12:43:16] DEBUG: Closing fd 12

Client kicked.

Can I do something more to investigate this further ?

[icecast] my icecast problem

Quick question?
Is there a way to observe the TCP/IP block numbers produced by a client
connected to a server that is not getting data fast enough or too fast in
icecast while it happens in real time? I suppose you might be able to do
this with a sniffer of some sort but I am just wondering about the accuracy
of the results. Having access to this information in real time would help
with trouble shooting. I know it did with our server development and as a
broadcaster I can watch each connection and see who is having problems
without going through the logs. If there is, can someone tell me how this
can be done? cause I would like to try this out and duplicate the problem
and watch what is really going on...
In addition is there a way to set the size of the outgoing packets or is
that completely handled by the stack and not icecast itself. Forgive me if
that sounds stupid, but I didn't really get that deep into icecast
configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Lithium.

You can... but... 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to look at the MTU for your
interface.

However, you'll probably see little if any difference and you may effect
performance for not only you, but your router(s) and that in turn would
effect your listeners.  Unless you have control over the routers and know
what type of topology the upstream connect runs (FDDI, ATM, etc) then
there is really no point in playing with the packet size.  Most OS's by
default are already using optimized packet sizes.  

HTH,

Sean..
