...overed that Icecast is turning off the Nagle algorithm by setting TCP_NODELAY option on the client sockets. This results in many small packets because a packet is sent as soon as possible without combining packets into larger packets. Would it be safe to turn on the Nagle algorithm (by removing the sock_set_nodelay() calls in appropriate places) to try to reduce the interrupt rate for many concurrent low-bitrate streams? I would appreciate your response. Regards, Klaas Jan Wierenga

Would it be safe to turn on the Nagle algorithm (by removing the sock_set_nodelay() calls in appropriate places) to try to reduce the interrupt rate for many concurrent low-bitrate streams? This has been reported to me already, it occurs with low bitrate non-ogg streams. You can remove the sock_set_nodelay as I don't think it really does anything for us at all, but it may...

Hello, I work at SmarctJog.com, we have here some patches on IceCast for performance and reliability, these are mostly client/connection/source cleanups (a slave merge is underway, and some more good stuff (c)), but we'd like this to be merged in before the list gets any longer. Please find attached a list of our patches with a short desc: This one is actually not from us/me, it was found
