  1. UDP User Datagram Protocol

  2. About the UDP • A commonly used transport protocol • Does not guarantee either packet delivery or order • The packets may travel along different paths • Each packet has a time-to-live (TTL) counter • Arrives intact or is idscarded

  3. The advantages of UDP • More efficient than guaranteed-delivery • Unlike TCP streams, which establish a connection • Real-time application that demand up-to-second or better performance may be candidates for UDP • can receive data from more than one host machine • Some network protocols specify UDP as the transport mechanism (e.g. …)

  4. Java classes to support UDP • java.net.DatagramPacket • java.net.DatagramSocket

  5. DatagramPacket class • Packets are containers for a small sequence of bytes, and include addressing information such as an IP address and a port number • The DatagramPacket class repesents a data packet intended for transmission using the UDP protocol

  6. Note: • When a DatagramPacket is used to send an UDP packet, the IP address stored in DatagramPacket represents the address of the recipient (likewise with the port number) • When a DatagramPacket has been read from a UDP socket, the IP address of the packet represents the address of the sender (likewise with the port number)

  7. Creating a DatagramPacket • To send data to a remote machine using UDP • To receive data sent by a remote machine using UDP

  8. Constructors • For receiving incoming UDP packets: • DatagramPacket(byte[] buffer, int length) • For example: DatagramPacket packet=new DatagramPacket(new byte[256], 256); • To send a DatagramPacket to a remote machine: • DatagramPacket(byte[] buffer, int length, InetAddress dest_addr, int dest_port) • For example: InetAddress addr=InetAddress.getByName(“192.168.0.1”) DatagramPacket packet=new DatagramPacket(new byte[128], 128, addr, 2000);

  9. Using a DatagramPacket • Methods • InetAddress getAddress() • byte[] getData() • int getLength() • int getPort() • void setAddress(InetAddress addr) • void setData(byte[] buffer) • void setLength(int length) • void setPort(int port)

  10. DatagramSocket class • Provides access to a UDP socket, which allow UDP packets to be sent and received

  11. Creating a DatagramSocket • Constructors • To create a client DatagramSocket: • DatagramSocket() • To create a server DatagramSocket: • DatagramSocket(int port)

  12. Using a DatagramSocket • Methods • void close() • InetAddress getInetAddress() • int getPort() • InetAddress getLocalAddress() • int getLocalPort() • void receive(DatagramPacket packet)

  13. Listening for UDP packets DatagramSocket socket=new DatagramSocket(2000); DatagramPacket packet=new DatagramPacket(new byte[256], 256); While (! finished) { socket.receive(packet); //read operations are blocking // process the packet } socket.close();

  14. Processing UDP packets ByteArrayInputStream bin=new ByteArrayInputStream(packet.getData()); DataInputStream din=new DataInputStrteam(bin); // Read the contents of the UDP packet ……

  15. Sending UDP packets DatagramSocket socket=new DatagramSocket(2005); DatagramPacket packet=new DatagramPacket(new byte[256], 256); packet.setAddress(InetAddress.getByName(somehost)); packet.setPort(2000); Boolean finished=false; While (! finished) { // write data to packet buffer …… socket.send(packet); }
