[Asterisk-Dev] [OT] [Very OT] socket connection from perl to visual basic

[Mark Aiken]

Chris,

I've seen problems like this where the sending Linux application sends much
faster or in different segment sizes than the same Windows based app.

Try sending the data in slower and/or smaller chunks in your Perl script.
Put a delay between the chunks or figure out a way to otherwise slow down
the data.

You are probably uncovering a bug in the Windows app that doesn't happen
when the data arrives at a different rate or segment size.
