Honored ContributorHi Fred,
I did the web server demo on Nios II. Part of its design is, when over-burdened with connection requests (something that can easily happen running at a slow clock speed, with no d-cache, and no protocol stack optimizations as we have the HTTP server running on). It will handle a couple of simultaneous HTTP sessions (from people hitting it with web browses), but that is it. Like a full-fledged HTTP server we designed it to ignore incoming connection requests that it cannot service, and only to heed those connections when the previous ones are complete. If you *really* hammer on it, its designed to reset any connections that get into a bad state and recover after 5 seconds. However, what you describe sounds like a more legitamate failure we haven't seen... just curious, did you submit your 'hammer' application to Altera's mysupport? If that was you, I wanted to let you know that I got notification from our support engineer on your case about this last night; I have your app. and will likely be taking a detailed look at the problem today. - Trogdor (real name is Jesse)
