Need info on UDP
Author
I''ve programmed a program using TCP and I need info on how change it into using UDP,(commands and stuff)
Thanks

Can I just have one port(on the server) that everyone will send to using UDP? Or do I need a socket for each client?
After you create a datagram (UDP) socket you can simply use sendto and recvfrom to send and receive data between two hosts. In addition to the parameters you pass to send and recv for streaming sockets, you will also need to also provide a sockaddr structure and it''s length to the send method. This will specify where the data should be routed to. For recvfrom, you will provide pointers to a sockaddr structure and a pointer to a value for it''s length. When recvfrom returns, these will provide you with the information about where the data had come from.
When you want to receive data through a specific port you will need to bind that socket to an address and port.
For your server, you do not need to create a socket for each client that connects.

also, here is some piss poor code as a sample:
