* Communication between client and server is ''one-way'' (except session init/refresh); the client does not receive any confirmation for sent data. This means that there is no guaranty that all the dumps you send will arrive at the server and stored in the database, and there is no way to check this. ''From version 0.31 it's possible to make avdump wait for confirmation from the server by using the -o switch.''
