Re: [lwip-users] TCP_LISTEN_BACKLOG setting problem

[Mrutyunjay]

hi , 
from comment in lwipopt.h is only a flag to enable backloging option  to tcp listening ports ,
not the count of listning as you are saying,
 
The count of listning queue should be controlled by the second parameter in the listen socket API,
/* Listen on Socket
     * Keep Server on listening mode
     */
    if (listen(server_socket, MAXCLIENT) == -1) 

/**
 * TCP_LISTEN_BACKLOG: Enable the backlog option for tcp listen pcb.
 */
#define TCP_LISTEN_BACKLOG          0     //Default = 0 == off

also the call flow follows to following net conn api 
the comment says 
/**
 * Set a TCP netconn into listen mode
 *
 * @param conn the tcp netconn to set to listen mode
 * @param backlog the listen backlog, only used if TCP_LISTEN_BACKLOG==1
 * @return ERR_OK if the netconn was set to listen (UDP and RAW netconns
 *         don't return any error (yet?))
 */
err_t
netconn_listen_with_backlog(struct netconn *conn, u8_t backlog)

Setting TCP_LISTEN_BACKLOG==0 means "disabled". In this case, backlog is limited by the number of PCBs.

In lwIP, the listen backlog is the number of incoming connections queued for accept(), meaning once you accepted one connection, another one is free to be queued for the next accept call. Open client connections previously accepted do not count in here.
