rolfk,
Can you post an image or VI of an example of this robust TCP/IP communication you are describing? You have a very good understanding of the nature of TCP/IP comm and I'm sure this lesson learned could be used in other comm protocols as well. \
I am interested to see an example of the error-handling architecture you have implemented. The scenario "Timeout, Retry, Timeout again, Close connection, Open connection, Retry, Success" is probably very common and a great way of dealing with undetermined network latency.
Cheers,

That are typically libraries contained in rather huge applications (usually some 600 to 800 Vis). Stripping out the relevant part is not something to do in a matter of a few minutes and I would want to do some other stuff at the moment.
However a very good starting point "robust TCP/IP" on www.labuseful.com. This is already a very reliable 24/7 TCP/IP connect, disconnect, reconnect VI set using some if not all of above recommendations somehow. Jack Hamilton is an old time LabVIEWer and has created great software.
