Empty TCP messages are perfectly valid, but they should be hidden from
you. recvfrom returning 0 means the connection has been closed, but
that=CA=BCs a separate thing.
Empty UDP messages are also valid, and are indicated by recvfrom returning
0.
Could you show how you=CA=BCre generating the empty packets?

It=CA=BCs allowed by the protocol. I guess it could be useful for people
wanting to implement their own keep-alive protocol over UDP.

I'm doing network programming with Emacs Lisp and one of the tasks was
implementing a UDP server reading individual packets. I've found that
when a client sends an empty packet, the server hangs up with a
connection error and no longer accepts subsequent packets. This seems to
be reasonable behavior for TCP (from what I understand, empty TCP
messages are a sign of the connection being closed), but not for
UDP. I've attached test programs written in Emacs Lisp and Guile to
reproduce both correctly and incorrectly functioning servers and clients
respectively. One minor nitpick is that sending an empty UDP packet from
Emacs Lisp doesn't work either, but I'm unsure whether this is a bug
(socat behaves similarly).
