here are the TCPDRV status codes, not in official spec. straight from peter tattam.

this is from peter tattam after i e-mailed about the status codes for TCPDRV/NTCPDRV. he apparently simply forgot to include them in his official spec sheet!

Hmm. I thought those were documented, but when I looked at the spec, they weren't.


here you are... an enum starting at 0.

tcp_state = (closed,listen,syn_sent,syn_received,established,
fin_wait_1,fin_wait_2,close_wait,closing,
last_ack,time_wait);


3 would correspond to syn_received. This would happen on a listen socket when it hasn't got the ack from the other end. the usual sequence is....

(S = server, C= client)

sent state
S=LISTEN, C=CLOSED
C: SYN C= SYN_SENT
S: SYN/ACK S= SYN_RECEIVED
C: ACK C,S = ESTABLISHED


so the server would transition from LISTEN --> SYN_RECEIVED -> ESTABLISHED.
while the client would transition from CLOSED --> SYN_SENT -> ESTABLISHED

the transitions for closing are more complex. Check out the RFC's or read a book on TCP for more info.

if you want to know the internal format of the IP, TCP, UDP socket structures, I can let you have a sneak look. They are in Pascal though.

Do you still have contact with him? Would he be interested in donating the Trumpet source code to the Computer History Museum or somewhere else?
