So this is a Cygwin issue and not a ssh issue (i.e. you're saying
it works fine if the Cygwin ssh isn't in the loop)?

Subject: SSH Tunneling and TCP_NODELAY


Hi all,

I am using SSH port forwarding on a linux sshd from the Cygwin ssh.  Both
sides
have version OpenSSH 3.4p1.  There is no problem with my tunneling, as I
have
been using many (about 10) port forwards (server and local) for quite some
time
now.

A new application has been introduced to my mix that uses the network to
send
control messages at about 30 times per second.  These messages are small
(4-12
bytes), but sent at a frequent rate.

If port forwarding is NOT used, the control stream is working well.  BUT,
if I
send the control string through the SSH tunnel, it gets sent as bursts...
for
example, the receiving application wukk get no data for 5 frames, and the
6th
frame will get all 6 frames.

This makes for a jerky control of the software.  My control program has
TCP_NODELAY set in it's ouput socket which is why it works properly.  I
_thought_ that openssh starting at version 3.1 had TCP_NODELAY set on it's
forwarded ports (my debug outputs tell me so).  None the less, the bursting
(which I believe is a cacheing at some point) still happens.

My question:

Is there something about the Cygwin version of SSH where TCP_NODELAY doesnt
work properly, or it is a stub function?  Can anyone think of a reason this
is
happening?

Thanks,
Brian
