Bug #2869
closedNFD Restart Breaks Face Socket
0%
Description
If a Face is connected to a remote NFD using TcpTransport, an NFD restart will break the TCP socket. If the default constructor is used, the user does not have a reference to the transport to call transport.connect()
and re-connect the TCP socket; repeated calls to face.processEvents()
will fail without attempting to reconnect. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature request and haven't tested with other transport types. Possible solutions:
1) make transport.processEvents()
attempt to reconnect the broken socket
2) allow users access to the transport from the face so that they can re-connect it
3) force users to pass in a transport instance and keep a reference to it alongside the face reference; write code to trap a face.processEvents()
error and trigger a transport.connect
(I don't like this option as much)

Hi Andrew. Your option number 2 looks like feature request #2075 for the library to inform the application when the connection drops. Maybe we can copy your suggestions and continue the discussion there?

Hi Andrew. Can we close this in favor of the discussion on issue #2075 "inform the application when the connection is lost"?
