UDP Traffic Generator Server Side C code

Learning Networking basics using C programs, to start with here is simple UDP server side code,
Why to start with UDP because its simple, no need of connection handshake like TCP.

udp server

#include <sys/types.h>;
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>/* close() */
#include <string.h> /* memset() */

#define LOCAL_SERVER_PORT 1500
#define MAX_MSG 1500

int main() {

int sd, rc, n, cliLen;
struct sockaddr_in cliAddr, servAddr;
char msg[MAX_MSG];
int count;
int prev_count=0;
/* socket creation */
sd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); //create unix socket
if(sd<0)>
printf("cannot open socket \n");
exit(-1);
}

/* bind local server port */
servAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("1.168.3.100"); //using fixed IP for simplicity
servAddr.sin_port = htons(LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);
rc = bind (sd, (struct sockaddr *) &servAddr,sizeof(servAddr));
if(rc<0)>
printf("cannot bind port number %d \n", LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);
exit(-1);
}

printf("waiting for data on port UDP %u\n",
LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);

/* server infinite loop */
while(1) {

/* receive message */
cliLen = sizeof(cliAddr);
n = recvfrom(sd, msg, MAX_MSG, 0,
(struct sockaddr *) &cliAddr, &cliLen);

if(n<0)>
printf("cannot receive data \n");
continue;
}

/* print received message */
printf("from %s:UDP%u: count:%d message: %s\n",

}/* end of server infinite loop */

return 0;
}

Hello!

Good work, but aren't you missing a call to the function listen() before de while(1) loop??

Linux SMB write performance With Simple Tips

SMB write performance can be increased by Tuning the buffer cache. The secret to good performance is to keep as much of the data in memory for as long as is possible. Writing to the disk is the slowest part of any filesystem. If you know that the filesystem will be heavily used, then you can tune this process for Linux Samba. writing out dirty blocks to the disk until the filesystem buffer cache is 80 percent full (80). default is 40%, source = http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap29sec287.html by writing echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio I am getting around 2MB increase while write operation, tested in Xp. I have tried with this single option, as the ref source is for linux 2.2 and we are using 2.6 kernel. we can try out Linux General Optimization suggested at http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/gen-optim.html Tried with smb.conf, I am getting around 1MB gain while read and write. socket options = TCP_NODELAY I...
