the end it clearly states that the use of {active, true} is not advised
for high traffic conditions as it doesn't have flow control. </blockquote>
</div><br>This isn't about flow control. This is about losing
initial packets because they're going to the wrong process.
{active,once} is immune to the flow control problem, and if you write a
server capable of managing its own flow control, the initial packets
are still at risk of being lost. Indeed, the code you linked to
suffers the defect I'm discussing, and can lose packets for the same
reason that the prior example can.<br>
<br>The example you gave does not resolve the perceived defect.
