getting tcp connection state
im currently in following situation:
we have a tcp architecture where more or less everything can connect to (local network).
since devices conencting arent always behaving properly we cannot bet on graceful connection closing. as a workaround we are polling on IPGlobalProperties.GetActiveTcpConnections to forceclose connections and require a new handshake and datasyncing. we have the problem now though that with increasing amount of tcp sockets in windows (checked via netstat) that call gets rediculous slow and cpu heavy. more or less all i need is to check that the connection that is/was connected is still estabished.
are there any alternatives i could use? would p-invoking GetTcpTable be faster? are there better apis?
