Question socket programming (UDP with multiple clients)

Hi all,

I have an application where


there are 5 udp clients/senders which keep sending data to same IP with different port number

can I design my udp server to recieve data from all 5 clients at the same time? how should I use the server address structure? should I use different address structure for each ? am trying to do it using fork() . please guide me how to go with it?


thanks in advance

bootpgw(8)						      System Manager's Manual							bootpgw(8)

NAME
bootpgw - Internet BOOTP Protocol gateway SYNOPSIS
/usr/opt/obsolete/usr/sbin/bootpgw [-d level] [-t timeout] [-h hopcount] [-w waittime] server [server...] OPTIONS
Sets the debug-level variable that controls the number of debugging messages generated. For example, -d 4 sets the debugging level to 4. Sets the maximum hop count a BOOTP request can contain for this bootpgw daemon to forward the packet. The default is 4. Specifies the timeout value (in minutes) that the bootpgw process waits for a BOOTP packet before exiting. If no packets are received for timeout min- utes, the program exits. A timeout value of zero means run forever. When the bootpgw daemon is not started using the inetd daemon, this option is forced to 0. Specifies the minimum wait time in seconds. Requests are forwarded only if the client has been waiting for at least the specified time. The default value is 0. OPERANDS
Specifies the name or IP address of a BOOTP server to which the bootpgw forwards BOOTP requests. DESCRIPTION
The bootpgw daemon implements a simple BOOTP gateway that can be used to forward requests and responses between clients and BOOTP servers (for example, bootpd) on different subnets. In order to use the bootpgw daemon, you must install the Obsolete Commands and Utilities subset (OSFOBSOLETExxx). The bootpgw can be started by the /usr/sbin/inetd daemon by specifying the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpgw bootpgw server Note that server specifies the name or IP address of a bootp server to which the bootpgw forwards bootp requests. You may not have the bootpd daemon and the bootpgw daemon running on the same system because they listen on the same bootps port. When the bootpgw daemon is started, it determines the address of a BOOTP server whose name is provided as a command line parameter. When the bootpgw daemon receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it sets the gateway address and hop count fields in the packet and forwards it to the BOOTP server at the address determined earlier. Then the bootpgw daemon looks in the /etc/services file to find the port numbers it should use. The following two entries are extracted: The bootp server listening port. The destination port used to reply to clients. If the port numbers cannot be determined this way, they are assumed to be 67 for the server and 68 for the client. RESTRICTIONS
You cannot run bootpgw and bprelay on the same system at the same time. FILES
