Detailed Description

UDP duplex connections impliment a bi-directional point-to-point UDP session between two peer hosts.

Two UDP sockets are typically used on alternating port addresses to assure that sender and receiver data does not collide or echo back. A UDP Duplex is commonly used for full duplex real-time streaming of UDP data between hosts.

Socket::Error UDPSocket::getInterfaceIndex ( const char *  ethX,
int &  InterfaceIndex 
)

get the interface index for a named network device

Parameters

Todo:
Win32 and ipv6 specific implementation.
Socket::Error UDPSocket::getInterfaceIndex ( const char *  ethX,

)
inherited

get the interface index for a named network device

Parameters
ethXis device name, like "eth0" or "eth1"
InterfaceIndexis the index value returned by os
Todo:
Win32 and ipv6 specific implementation.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Local ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Get the local address and port number this socket is currently bound to.

Parameters
portptr to port number on local host.
Returns
host address of interface this socket is bound to.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Local ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Get the local address and port number this socket is currently bound to.

Parameters
portptr to port number on local host.
Returns
host address of interface this socket is bound to.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4NAT ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Perform NAT table lookup for this socket.

Used to allow an application to know the original ip:port pair the the client "thinks" it is connecting to. Used mostly to transparently impersonate a remote server/service.

On error, 0.0.0.0:0 is returned and one of the following error codes is set: errServiceUnavailable - if nat is not supported on the current platform or if it was not compiled; errLookupFail - if the nat syscall failed for some reason (extended error code); errSearchErr - if the socket does not have nat information (i.e. is not nated).

NAT lookup is supported on NetFilter for ipv4 and ipv6 (Linux), IPFilter for ipv4 (Solaris, *BSD except OpenBSD, HP-UX, etc.) and Packet Filter for ipv4 and ipv6 (OpenBSD). When using IPFilter or Packet Filter, the first NAT lookup must be performed as root (the NAT device is read only for root and is opened once, unless an error occurs). Permissions on the nat device may be changed to solve this.

Warning
When using IPFilter and Packet Filter, application data model must be the same as the running kernel (32/64 bits).
Parameters
portptr to NATed port number on local host.
Returns
NATed host address that this socket is related to.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4NAT ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Perform NAT table lookup for this socket.

Used to allow an application to know the original ip:port pair the the client "thinks" it is connecting to. Used mostly to transparently impersonate a remote server/service.

On error, 0.0.0.0:0 is returned and one of the following error codes is set: errServiceUnavailable - if nat is not supported on the current platform or if it was not compiled; errLookupFail - if the nat syscall failed for some reason (extended error code); errSearchErr - if the socket does not have nat information (i.e. is not nated).

Permissions on the nat device may be changed to solve this.

Warning

Parameters
portptr to NATed port number on local host.
Returns
NATed host address that this socket is related to.
IPV4Host UDPSocket::getIPV4Peer ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Examine address of sender of next waiting packet.

This also sets "peer" address to the sender so that the next "send" message acts as a "reply". This additional behavior overides the standard socket getSender behavior.

Parameters
portpointer to hold port number.
IPV4Host UDPSocket::getIPV4Peer ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Examine address of sender of next waiting packet.

This also sets "peer" address to the sender so that the next "send" message acts as a "reply". This additional behavior overides the standard socket getSender behavior.

Parameters
portpointer to hold port number.
virtual IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Sender ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
virtualinherited

May be used to examine the origin of data waiting in the socket receive queue.

This can tell a TCP server where pending "connect" requests are coming from, or a UDP socket where it's next packet arrived from.

Parameters
portptr to port number of sender.
Returns
host address, test with "isInetAddress()".
