Datagram Packet 1

[dcusick]

What's up everyone? Quick question for you. I have to write a program that receives Datagram packets. I need to know when the packets are received. I assume I would just go into an infinite loop and look for some condition. What condition is it though? At what point do I know that a packet was actually received? Thanks.

I assume you're already looking at java.net.DatagramSocket? Liam Morley

Hi,

You will have to open a Server socket at a perticular port and wait for any packets to arrive. You will be in a while loop or something while reading is true. Once data is arrived, you can find out the packet content.

As you probably will know that Datagram Packets are connection less, you just hope to receive.

Good luck

Best Regards,

Thanks guna, that's just what I did... Got me going and I was able to see the recieved data over the socket. Thanks again!
