Public Methods

int receive (void *buf, size_t len)
 Receive a data packet from the connected peer host.

bool isInputReady (timeout_t timeout=TIMEOUT_INF)
 See if input queue has data packets available.


Protected Methods

 UDPReceive (const InetAddress &bind, tpport_t port)
 Create a UDP receiver, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host.

Error connect (const InetHostAddress &host, tpport_t port)
 Associate this socket with a specified peer host.

Error disconnect (void)
 Disassociate this socket from any host connection.

bool isPendingReceive (timeout_t timeout)
 Check for pending data.

void endReceiver (void)
 End receiver.

SOCKET getReceiver (void)
Error setRouting (bool enable)
Error setMulticast (bool enable)
Error join (const InetMcastAddress &ia)
Error drop (const InetMcastAddress &ia)

Detailed Description

Representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP receiver can receive data from another peer host or subnet. Unreliable Datagram Peer Associations.

This class is used exclusivily to derive the UDPDuplex.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::UDPReceive::UDPReceive const InetAddress   bind,
tpport_t    port
[protected]
 

Create a UDP receiver, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host.

On failure to bind, an exception is thrown.

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


Member Function Documentation

Error ost::UDPReceive::connect const InetHostAddress   host,
tpport_t    port
[protected]
 

Associate this socket with a specified peer host.

The port number from the constructor will be used. All UDP packets will be sent received from the specified host.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
host  host network address to connect socket to.
port  host transport port to connect socket to.

Reimplemented in ost::UDPDuplex.

Error ost::UDPReceive::disconnect void    [protected]
 

Disassociate this socket from any host connection.

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

Reimplemented in ost::UDPDuplex.

Error ost::UDPReceive::drop const InetMcastAddress   ia [inline, protected]
 

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

void ost::UDPReceive::endReceiver void    [inline, protected]
 

End receiver.

SOCKET ost::UDPReceive::getReceiver void    [inline, protected]
 

bool ost::UDPReceive::isInputReady timeout_t    timeout = TIMEOUT_INF [inline]
 

See if input queue has data packets available.

Returns:
true if data packets available.
Parameters:
timeout  in milliseconds.

bool ost::UDPReceive::isPendingReceive timeout_t    timeout [inline, protected]
 

Check for pending data.

Returns:
true if data is waiting.
Parameters:
timeout  in milliseconds.

Error ost::UDPReceive::join const InetMcastAddress   ia [inline, protected]
 

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

int ost::UDPReceive::receive void *    buf,
size_t    len
[inline]
 

Receive a data packet from the connected peer host.

Returns:
num of bytes actually received.
Parameters:
buf  address of data receive buffer.
len  size of data receive buffer.

Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.

Error ost::UDPReceive::setMulticast bool    enable [inline, protected]
 

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

Error ost::UDPReceive::setRouting bool    enable [inline, protected]
 

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
