async mode not working over uca-net

[MarcusZuber]

In the async the acquisition takes for ever without returning frames.

On windows:
ucad mock
On linux client:
uca-benchmark -p host=server:8989 -r 1 -n 20 net

The resulting output is:

sync auto 18.7 Hz 4.5 MB/s 20/20 acquired (0.00% dropped)
async auto 1/1

Here it is stuck (for at least a few minutes).

This is true. The question is: is real asynchronous acquisition necessary for you? Synchronous-only acquisition simplifies the network code quite a bit because the server is acting like a normal server (i.e. request-reply style). Asynchronous acquisition mode would mean that the server is notifying the client that new data is available.

However, I could of course implement fake asynchronous acquisition on top of the synchronous acquisition, which in fact the mock camera also does.

[MarcusZuber]

For me it is not very important.
I just thought that you want to have the net-camera completely identical to a local one.

Alright, then I will just do it as in the mock camera and build async mode on top of synchronous.
