A C# await-able SocketAsyncEventArgs wrapper for a UDP server; socket.ReceiveAsync returns invalid RemoteEndPoint (0.0.0.0:0)

Question

As the title says, I am writing a UDP server on raw sockets, and using SocketAsyncEventArgs because i would like to write something fast.

I am aware that UdpClient exists, and that there are easier methods to go about writing a server, but i would like to learn how to properly use SocketAsyncEventArgs and the socket.ReceiveFromAsync / socket.SendToAsync methods for their claimed 'enchanced throughput' and 'better scalability' (MSDN Docs for SocketAsyncEventArgs).

I have essentially followed the MSDN example, as I figured it was a decent starting point to learn how these methods work, and ran into a bit of a problem. The server works initially and can echo back received bytes, but will randomly 'fail' to receive bytes from the correct address. Instead of the correct localhost client address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:7007) the RemoteEndPoint will be populated by the UDP placeholder EndPoint {0.0.0.0:0} (for lack of a better term). Image showing the problem (console is in Polish, sorry. Just trust me that the SocketException message is "Desired Address is invalid in this context").

I have wholesale ripped chunks from the MSDN example at times, changing only the fields that were populated on the SocketAsyncEventArgs instance for the socket.ReceiveFromAsync call (in accordance with the MSDN docs -> socket.ReceiveFromAsync Docs), and the end result was still the same. Furthermore, this is an intermittent issue, not a constant one. There is no time that the server will consistently error out, from what I have noticed.

My thoughts so far are a state issue with UdpServer, some inconsistency on the UdpClient side, or a misuse of the TaskCompletionSource.

Edit 1:

I feel that i should address why im using SocketAsyncEventArgs. I completely understand that there are easier methods to go about sending and receiving data. The async/await socket extensions are a good way to go about this, and are the way i did it initially. I would want to benchmark async/await versus the older api, the SocketArgs, to see by how much the two methods differ.

Code for the UdpClient, UdpServer, and shared structures is included below. I can also try to provide more code on demand, if StackOverflow will let me.

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

I managed to solve the problem!

I ended up having to merge the SocketAsyncEventArgs pool, as it turns out that you need to persist a single args object for the duration of a receive and send call. Now, my SendToAsync function takes a SocketAsyncEventArgs object (which is rented in the ReceiveFromAsync call) which contains the RemoteEndPoint for the client to which to send the response. The SendToAsync function is the one to clean up the SocketAsyncEventArgs, and return them to the pool.

Another issue with my earlier solution was the assignment of an Event multiple times. When i merged the two socket args pools, i left the multiple event handler assignment, which ended up causing problems. Once that was fixed, the solution worked completely as intended, and can send 1 000 000 packets (of 1Kb) without any problems. Really early testing (probably off by a bit) showed a bandwidth of around 5 megabytes per second (around 40 megabits per second) which is acceptable and much better than i was getting with my own overcomplicated 'fast async' version of the code.

With regard to the bandwidth, my fast async version was overcomplicated and thus not really comparable, but i believe that this SocketAsyncEventArgs version can serve as a good jumping off point for both benchmarking and tinkering to squeeze as much performance out of a socket as possible. I would still like feedback on this though, and will probably post it to the Code Review stack exchange at some point, as i doubt that there are no subtle bugs still in the solution.

Whoever wants to use this code is free to, it ended up being much simpler and easier to create than anticipated, but i dont take any responsibility if you are stupid enough to use this in production without extensive testing (this is a learning project after all).
