Detailed Description

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

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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::UDPDuplex::UDPDuplex ( const IPV4Address bind,
tpport_t  port 
)

Create a UDP duplex as a pair of UDP simplex objects bound to alternating and interconnected port addresses.

Parameters:
bind address to bind this socket to.
port number to bind sender.

ost::UDPDuplex::UDPDuplex ( const IPV6Address bind,
tpport_t  port 
)


Member Function Documentation

Error ost::UDPDuplex::connect ( const IPV4Host host,
tpport_t  port 
)

Associate the duplex with a specified peer host.

Both the sender and receiver will be interconnected with the remote host.

Returns:
0 on success, error code on error.
Parameters:
host address to connect socket to.
port number to connect socket to.

Reimplemented from ost::UDPTransmit.

Error ost::UDPDuplex::connect ( const IPV6Host host,
tpport_t  port 
)

Reimplemented from ost::UDPReceive.

Error ost::UDPDuplex::disconnect ( void   ) 

Disassociate this duplex from any host connection.

No data should be read or written until a connection is established.

Returns:
0 on success, error code on error.

Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.
