I am building a small UDP based server. the server is based on .Net and uses the Socket class it self. I'm using completion ports through ReceiveMessageFromAsync, and the async send.
My problem is I'm loosing around 5%-10% of my traffic. Now i understand this is normal, but is there any way of improving this statistic?
You might want to look at the answers to this question before rolling your own reliability layer on top of UDP... What do you use when you need reliable UDP?
Alternatively you can try and increase the amount of data that gets through by making the socket's send and recv buffers as large as possible by setting the appropriate socket options before you start to recv.
