Detailed Description

UDP Socket.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ UDPSocket()

ts::UDPSocket::UDPSocket	(	bool	auto_open = `false`,
		IP	gen = `IP::Any`,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	auto_open	If true, call open() immediately.
[in]	gen	IP generation, IPv4 or IPv6. If set to IP::Any, this socket can receive IPv4 and IPv6 datagrams. If gen is IP::v6, the socket is created with option IPV6_V6ONLY set.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Member Function Documentation

◆ bind()

bool ts::UDPSocket::bind	(	const IPSocketAddress &	addr,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Bind to a local address and port.

The IP address part of the socket address must one of:

IPAddress::AnyAddress4. Any local interface may be used to send or receive UDP datagrams. For each outgoing packet, the actual interface is selected by the kernel based on the routing rules. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted from any local interface.
The IP address of an interface of the local system. Outgoing packets will be unconditionally sent through this interface. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.

Special note for receiving multicast on most Unix systems (at least Linux and macOS): The IP address shall be either AnyAddress4 or the multicast group address. Do not specify a local address to receive multicast on Unix.

The port number part of the socket address must be one of:

IPSocketAddress::AnyPort. The socket is bound to an arbitrary unused local UDP port.
A specific port number. If this UDP port is already bound by another local UDP socket, the bind operation fails, unless the "reuse port" option has already been set.

Parameters

[in]	addr	Local socket address to bind to.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setDefaultDestination() [1/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setDefaultDestination	(	const IPSocketAddress &	addr,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set a default destination address and port for outgoing messages.

There are two versions of the send() method. One of them explicitly specifies the destination of the packet to send. The second version does not specify a destination; the packet is sent to the default destination.

Parameters

[in]	addr	Socket address of the destination. Both address and port are mandatory in the socket address, they cannot be set to IPAddress::AnyAddress4 or IPSocketAddress::AnyPort.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setDefaultDestination() [2/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setDefaultDestination	(	const UString &	name,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set a default destination address and port for outgoing messages.

There are two versions of the send() method. One of them explicitly specifies the destination of the packet to send. The second version does not specify a destination; the packet is sent to the default destination.

Parameters

[in]	name	A string describing the socket address of the destination. See IPSocketAddress::resolve() for a description of the expected string format.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ getDefaultDestination()

IPSocketAddress ts::UDPSocket::getDefaultDestination ( ) const

inline

Get the default destination address and port for outgoing messages.

Returns: The default destination address and port for outgoing messages.

◆ setOutgoingMulticast() [1/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setOutgoingMulticast	(	const IPAddress &	addr,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set the outgoing local interface for multicast messages.

Parameters

[in]	addr	IP address of a local interface.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setOutgoingMulticast() [2/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setOutgoingMulticast	(	const UString &	name,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set the outgoing local interface for multicast messages.

Parameters

[in]	name	A string describing the IP address of a local interface. See IPAddress::resolve() for a description of the expected string format.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setTTL() [1/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setTTL	(	int	ttl,
		bool	multicast,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set the Time To Live (TTL) option.

Parameters

[in]	ttl	The TTL value, ie. the maximum number of "hops" between routers before an IP packet is dropped.
[in]	multicast	When true, set the multicast TTL option. When false, set the unicast TTL option.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setTTL() [2/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::setTTL	(	int	ttl,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

inline

Set the Time To Live (TTL) option.

If the default destination is a multicast address, set the multicast TTL option. Otherwise, set the unicast TTL option.

Parameters

[in]	ttl	The TTL value, ie. the maximum number of "hops" between routers before an IP packet is dropped.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setTOS()

bool ts::UDPSocket::setTOS	(	int	tos,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set the Type Of Service (TOS) or Traffic Class (IPv6) option.

The interpretation of the tos parameter depends in the IP generation. With IPv4, this is a "type of service" value. With IPv6, this is a "traffic class" value.

Note that correct support for this option depends on the operating system. Typically, it never worked correctly on Windows.

Parameters

[in]	tos	The type of service (IPv4) or traffic class (IPv6) value.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setMulticastLoop()

bool ts::UDPSocket::setMulticastLoop	(	bool	on,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Set the multicast loop option.

By default, the multicast packets are looped back on local interfaces. Use this to disable multicast loopback.

Parameters

[in]	on	It true, multicast loopback is on. When false, it is off.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setReceiveTimestamps()

bool ts::UDPSocket::setReceiveTimestamps	(	bool	on,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Enable or disable the generation of receive timestamps.

When enabled, each received UDP packets comes with a time stamp (see receive()). When possible, a hardware timestamp from the NIC is received. Otherwise, a software timestamp is generated by the kernel.

When enabled, this option is a @æ request, not a requirement. Currently, this option is supported on Linux only. It is ignored on other systems.

Parameters

[in]	on	If true, receive timestamps are activated on the socket. Otherwise, they are disabled.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setBroadcastIfRequired()

bool ts::UDPSocket::setBroadcastIfRequired	(	const IPAddress	destination,
		Report &	report = `(ts::CerrReport::Instance())`
	)

Enable or disable the broadcast option, based on an IP address.

Parameters

[in]	destination	An hypothetical destination address. If this address is the broadcast address of a local interface, the broadcast option is set. Otherwise, the broadcast option is unchanged.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ addMembership() [1/2]

bool ts::UDPSocket::addMembership	(	const IPAddress &	multicast,
