Re: using mbuffer: what am i doing wrong?

Hello,

I never used mbuffer, I use buffer combined with netcat-traditional:

   # receiver (TCP server on port 8000)
   nc -l -p 8000 | buffer -S 1048576 -s 32768 -o /dev/null

   # sender (TCP client on ephemeral port)
   nc localhost 8000 < /dev/zero

I just installed mbuffer:

   mbuffer -I 8000 -o /dev/null

   mbuffer -i /dev/zero -O 127.0.0.1:8000

and it also works.

yes, but those work:

   netstat -a | grep :8000

   netstat --listen | grep :8000

Maybe it's just that by default netstat only shows sockets in the
ESTABLISHED state and not in the LISTEN state.

If there is a timeout, I would suggest to investigate firewalls
on the server side.
