UDP packets can be fragmented at the IP level, but once you do a receive you will receive the full datagram so you don't have to worry about it. A problem you may run into though is that of WSockets default buffer not being big enough for a full size UDP packet... you might have to set the buffer higher than the default if you arent receiving the full datagrams.

I´m in doubt in some aspects of UDP. Do UDP suffers from fragmentation like TCP? what I mean is that in TCP if I send a chunck of data, it is not guaranteed that this data will be received in a single event correct? It is guaranteed that it will be delivered completed and in order, so we have to implement packet boundaries on the application protocol. I would like to know if I send packets of data in UDP it will be fragmented too, because if it is, than an application protocol that will use UDP as underling layer will have to implement some packet boundaries mechanism. I´m asking this because of the RTP (Real Time Protocol) protocol, I´m currently developing an application that will have to parse RTP packets, but on RTP specification there is no packet boundaries. On the specification is only said that one RTP packet should be sent on one UDP packet, but I´m thinking if UDP packet will be fragmented and will be received in one or more events on ICS Thanks a lot Éric Fleming Bonilha -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
