I'm new in c# =)
I have a litle question about udp socket. I have a chat server that receives packets to a specific structure (udp datagram).
Why program receives data when the socket buffer is full? Does all that come after should not be be lost? Maybe packet fragmentation occurs?
Packet structure : udp_headers(28 byte)| dataIdentifier ( 4 byte)|name length(4 byte)|mesage length (4 bytes)|name(name length)|message(message length)
When I send a packet larger than the internal buffer. The program throws an exception:
ReceiveData Error: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself
All I need is to drop such packets before they cause this error. Is it possible?
