Question

Random client disconnects from server

I've seen a few posts about this but not any solutions. I'm experiencing random client disconnects in my application. The clients log in fine but then the server just loses them. They remain connected, but the server doesn't see them any longer and their names are dropped from the connected user list. The event logs aren't helpful, they just show that the client disconnected.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I feel like it must be some sort of network error because it never happens during testing, but with certain users it's more common.

    Is it because network connection drop. One common case might be that FMS comes to know about connection drop; but clients are not aware. This is more likely when clients don't initiate any communications with FMS on their own.

    No, I should probably have been clearer. Although the server claims the connection is gone, the client is still connected, receiving video, even sending streams. Somehow the server just decides that they're gone. Presumably it's a network hiccup of some kind, but I can't pin it down and I haven't found a way around it.
