Are you on Wifi (only)?

We did run into similar issues on 5.3.2 (but I don't know whether this is 
related to your problem, too): The reason for our problem was/is, that ...

"...it looks as if Qt’s “Network Configuration Manager” was polling the Wifi 
engine every 10 seconds for available networks.

This in turn will call Windows’ WlanScan function which “… requests a scan for 
available networks on the indicated interface…”
(see qnativewifiengine::requestUpdate, line 517) "

Could be right, could be wrong - but this is what I've seen.

Thanks,
Andre

Subject: [Interest] Q(Tcp/Udp)Socket stall

Hi,

I have passed the last 48 hours trying to understand a problem I was having 
with sockets. I was driving crazy but I think I finally reached a conclusion. 
Let me summarize:

- Program A that sends data via sockets to localhost
- Program B, built in Qt, receives data via QUdpSocket (I have also tried with 
QTcpSocket and the problem is the same).

Program A sends constant size messages (76 bytes) each 60 ms.
Program B receives the message and prints the latency between the current 
message and the last message.

The result is the following:

latency 19
latency 60
latency 60
latency 60
latency 51
latency 59
latency 80
latency 61
latency 60
latency 58
latency 50
latency 60
latency 59
latency 538
latency 0
latency 43
latency 58
latency 62
latency 79
latency 50
latency 50
latency 61
latency 61
latency 58
latency 60
latency 80
latency 31
latency 59
latency 1946
latency 0
latency 54
latency 61
latency 49
latency 59
latency 52
latency 60
latency 58
latency 60
latency 60
latency 60
latency 60
latency 60
latency 51
latency 533
latency 0
latency 16
latency 60
latency 60
latency 60
latency 50
latency 60
latency 61
latency 60
latency 59

From time to time, in a pretty much regular way, the message receiving stalls 
and the latency is printed as being around 500ms/1000ms/2000ms.

Even the interval between stalls is pretty much regular, around 14 packets. 
Each packet is 76 bytes, which multiplied by 14 gives around 1024.

I didn’t rest while I couldn’t who the fault was. So I did a C program that 
receives data on a socket from the same source to ensure that there was no 
stalls or latency. The result was NO STALLS.

Then, I have done another program, this time built in Qt, to send data via 
QUdpSocket to the program B. The result was: STALLS again!

My conclusion is that somewhere in the underlying Qt socket handling, there is 
a buffer, to be filled before readyRead is sent. 

Is anybody familiar with this problem and know how to work around it? Is this a 
setting that can be tweaked? 

This doesn’t seem normal or acceptable. 

Thx,

Regards,

Nuno Santos
