Hi, under normal pvm setting (Using TCP), is it possible to lost packet?
Here is some relevant info: 
1 task/ per sun,  on 8 SUN Sparc2 on LAN,
PVMD using Unix Domain Socket,
Application using TCP for pvm_psend and pvm_precv.


I noticed that not all the tcp links are active. That is, it should have  
8*7 = 64 tcp links. And each sun should have 7 links to the rest of suns.
 But some sun has 7 links some don't. And I am sure that ech sun has to
send message to the rest 7 suns. Can anyone explain? 

Thanks.
