AUdpSocket

A bidirectional UDP socket.

Header:	#include <AUI/Network/AUdpSocket.h>
CMake:	aui_link(my_target PUBLIC aui::network)

Detailed Description

UDP is connectionless: every write sends one datagram to an explicit destination and every read receives one datagram along with the sender's address. Delivery and ordering are not guaranteed.

AUdpSocket socket(9000);          // receiver, bound to port 9000
AByteBuffer buffer;
AInet4Address sender;
socket.read(buffer, sender);      // blocks until a datagram arrives
socket.write(buffer, sender);     // reply

The datagram size is limited to 32767 bytes. See UDP datagrams and ping.
