gen_tcp: lost message

[Mickael Remond]

Hi,

I am working on an IRC client in Erlang and I get some ping timeout very
often.

When a lot of data are send to a channel, it seems that I do not receive the
PING request from thus server and thus are unable to answer...

I have tried both the active and passive mode, but I am still losing data.
Is it really possible (I mean are the message queued ?) ?

What should I do to trap all messages and avoids overflow ?

Thank you in advance for you help.
