I'm working with UDP and i was wondering about the Accept Method when multiple machine need to connect to a server. So far i was working with UDPCliente class, IPEndPoint class and BeginRecieve / EndRecieve Method to create a server where multiple machine can connect at the same time.
My question is simple do i need to use Accept Method to handler incoming connection and create a new socket for each new connection ?
What is the best way to handler multiple connection with UDP ?
The code samples i've seen so far create a new UDPClient class and a IPEndPoint where the server is listening for connections after that, the code call the BeginRecieve passing a function where the data is recieved and then starts the process of BeginRecieve again.
These are the code samples i've been using so far:
public static void receiveCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
UdpClient u = (UdpClient)((UdpState)(ar.AsyncState)).u;
IPEndPoint e = (IPEndPoint)((UdpState)(ar.AsyncState)).e;
byte[] receiveBytes = u.EndReceive(ar, ref e);
UdpState s = new UdpState();
s.e = e;
s.u = u;
u.BeginReceive(new AsyncCallback(receiveCallback), s);
}
public static void receiveMessages()
{
IPEndPoint e = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 5050);
UdpClient u = new UdpClient(e);
UdpState s = new UdpState();
s.e = e;
s.u = u;
u.BeginReceive(new AsyncCallback(receiveCallback), s);
}
