TC65 : Slow UDP reception

Introduction Receiving UDP datagrams on the TC65 is easy but inefficient. You need to create a new thread if you want to receive data asynchronously. There’s no way of knowing if a new datagram has been received or not without hanging on the ::receive( Datagram ); method. This is quite weird considering you can do it in TCP.

WARNING: All the Cinterion related content from this blog will be removed to go to the javacint wikisoon. Please get used to going there.If you use the TC65 to transmit some frequent (with a transmission interval of less than 700 ms) data, you should know that the TC65’s has a poor TCP implementation considering the ACK management of sent messages.
