Re: UpdClient question

Greg, UDP isn't inherently unsuitable but you have to do a lot of extra work to get it going. Especially if you need to guarantee delivery. We use it for comms in our mobile apps and it meets our needs better than tcp. David "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall

Re: UpdClient question

What logging information are you sending? There is a shit ton of services in Azure for logging out of the box. On Wed, 11 Oct 2017 at 14:32 Greg Keogh wrote: > Thanks, chaps you've confirmed that UDP is not suitable, and my further > reading supports that. I'm running some

Re: UpdClient question

Thanks, chaps you've confirmed that UDP is not suitable, and my further reading supports that. I'm running some experiments with the TcpClient and TcpListener classes and they are working now on the same machine. The next test is to put them on different machines on the LAN, then put the server on

Re: UpdClient question

Greg, If i understand your intention correctly, I can't imagine that working. Even if it did, it wouldn't be a good idea. The UDP packets would be blocked at any number of points along the way and probably wouldn't get far. Maybe even get black listed? I would suggest clients need to register

Re: UpdClient question

UDP is not a connection oriented protocol. The client just sends to the server on a desired port. That's it. When you say "broadcast logging information" do you mean you are sending a datagram to the broadcast address? If so, broadcasts stop at the IP subnet boundary. On Wed, 11 Oct 2017 at

UpdClient question

I just want to check this is possible... A server program running in my Azure VM will use the UdpClient class to broadcast logging information using a chosen port. It doesn't know anything about who might want to listen. Client programs anywhere in the world know the IP address and port, and
