socket creation!!!
Hi,
i'm using a TCP_IP socket.
everyone knows that in a client/server program, wen client sends a lot of packets continuously and if there is a delay in reading from the socket on the server side, the recv(), call reads everything from the buffer...
thats is the problem i'm facing. so i'm tryin to create a socket with SOCK_SEQPACKET, type... i know we cant use AF_INET family, i tried PF_INET, but it still doesn't work.
can anyone say how to use this sock_seqpacket type???
Thnx,
sri

Hi all,
On the server side, one socket is used for listening, the others are used for communicating with the client.

Again, what's the different if set option... (1 Reply)

UDP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UDP(4)
NAME
udp -- Internet User Datagram Protocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
DESCRIPTION
UDP is a simple, unreliable datagram protocol which is used to support the SOCK_DGRAM abstraction for the Internet protocol family. UDP
sockets are connectionless, and are normally used with the sendto and recvfrom calls, though the connect(2) call may also be used to fix the
destination for future packets (in which case the recv(2) or read(2) and send(2) or write(2) system calls may be used).
UDP address formats are identical to those used by TCP. In particular UDP provides a port identifier in addition to the normal Internet
address format. Note that the UDP port space is separate from the TCP port space (i.e. a UDP port may not be ``connected'' to a TCP port).
In addition broadcast packets may be sent (assuming the underlying network supports this) by using a reserved ``broadcast address''; this
address is network interface dependent.
Options at the IP transport level may be used with UDP; see ip(4).
DIAGNOSTICS
A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
[EISCONN] when trying to establish a connection on a socket which already has one, or when trying to send a datagram with the destina-
tion address specified and the socket is already connected;
[ENOTCONN] when trying to send a datagram, but no destination address is specified, and the socket hasn't been connected;
[ENOBUFS] when the system runs out of memory for an internal data structure;
[EADDRINUSE] when an attempt is made to create a socket with a port which has already been allocated;
[EADDRNOTAVAIL] when an attempt is made to create a socket with a network address for which no network interface exists.

HISTORY
The udp protocol appeared in 4.2BSD.
