Object
This class represents a socket for sending and receiving datagram packets.
A datagram socket is the sending or receiving point for a packet delivery service. Each packet sent or received on a datagram socket is individually addressed and routed. Multiple packets sent from one machine to another may be routed differently, and may arrive in any order.
UDP broadcasts sends are always enabled on a DatagramSocket. In order to receive broadcast packets a DatagramSocket should be bound to the wildcard address. In some implementations, broadcast packets may also be received when a DatagramSocket is bound to a more specific address.
Example: DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket(null); s.bind(new InetSocketAddress(8888)); Which is equivalent to: DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket(8888); Both cases will create a DatagramSocket able to receive broadcasts on UDP port 8888.

connect
public void connect(InetAddress address,
int port)
-
Connects the socket to a remote address for this socket. When a socket is connected to a remote address, packets may only be sent to or received from that address. By default a datagram socket is not connected.
If the remote destination to which the socket is connected does not exist, or is otherwise unreachable, and if an ICMP destination unreachable packet has been received for that address, then a subsequent call to send or receive may throw a PortUnreachableException. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.
A caller's permission to send and receive datagrams to a given host and port are checked at connect time. When a socket is connected, receive and send
will not perform any security checks
on incoming and outgoing packets, other than matching the packet's and the socket's address and port. On a send operation, if the packet's address is set and the packet's address and the socket's address do not match, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. A socket connected to a multicast address may only be used to send packets.
-
-
Parameters:
-
address - the remote address for the socket
-
port - the remote port for the socket.
-
Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if the address is null, or the port is out of range.
-
SecurityException
- if the caller is not allowed to send datagrams to and receive datagrams from the address and port.

send
public void send(DatagramPacket p)
throws IOException
-
Sends a datagram packet from this socket. The DatagramPacket includes information indicating the data to be sent, its length, the IP address of the remote host, and the port number on the remote host.
If there is a security manager, and the socket is not currently connected to a remote address, this method first performs some security checks. First, if p.getAddress().isMulticastAddress() is true, this method calls the security manager's checkMulticast method with p.getAddress() as its argument. If the evaluation of that expression is false, this method instead calls the security manager's checkConnect method with arguments p.getAddress().getHostAddress() and p.getPort(). Each call to a security manager method could result in a SecurityException if the operation is not allowed.
-
-
Parameters:
-
p - the DatagramPacket to be sent.
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
-
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and its checkMulticast or checkConnect method doesn't allow the send.
-
PortUnreachableException
- may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.
-
IllegalBlockingModeException
- if this socket has an associated channel, and the channel is in non-blocking mode.

SecurityManager.checkMulticast(InetAddress)
,
SecurityManager.checkConnect(java.lang.String, int)
receive
public void receive(DatagramPacket p)
throws IOException
-
Receives a datagram packet from this socket. When this method returns, the DatagramPacket's buffer is filled with the data received. The datagram packet also contains the sender's IP address, and the port number on the sender's machine.
This method blocks until a datagram is received. The length field of the datagram packet object contains the length of the received message. If the message is longer than the packet's length, the message is truncated.
If there is a security manager, a packet cannot be received if the security manager's checkAccept method does not allow it.
-
-
Parameters:
-
p - the DatagramPacket into which to place the incoming data.
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
-
SocketTimeoutException
- if setSoTimeout was previously called and the timeout has expired.
-
PortUnreachableException
- may be thrown if the socket is connected to a currently unreachable destination. Note, there is no guarantee that the exception will be thrown.
-
IllegalBlockingModeException
- if this socket has an associated channel, and the channel is in non-blocking mode.

getLocalAddress
public InetAddress getLocalAddress()
-
Gets the local address to which the socket is bound.
If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is first called with the host address and -1 as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed.
-
-
Returns:
-
the local address to which the socket is bound, or an InetAddress representing any local address if either the socket is not bound, or the security manager checkConnect method does not allow the operation
-
Since:
-
1.1
-
See Also:
-

getLocalPort
public int getLocalPort()
-
Returns the port number on the local host to which this socket is bound.
-
-
Returns:
-
the port number on the local host to which this socket is bound.
setSoTimeout
public void setSoTimeout(int timeout)
throws SocketException
-
Enable/disable SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in milliseconds. With this option set to a non-zero timeout, a call to receive() for this DatagramSocket will block for only this amount of time. If the timeout expires, a
java.net.SocketTimeoutException
is raised, though the DatagramSocket is still valid. The option
must
be enabled prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. The timeout must be > 0. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
-
-
Parameters:
-
timeout - the specified timeout in milliseconds.
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
Since:
-
JDK1.1
-
See Also:
-
getSoTimeout()
getSoTimeout
public int getSoTimeout()
throws SocketException
-
Retrive setting for SO_TIMEOUT. 0 returns implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity).
-
-
Returns:
-
the setting for SO_TIMEOUT
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
Since:
-
JDK1.1
-
See Also:
-
setSoTimeout(int)
setSendBufferSize
public void setSendBufferSize(int size)
throws SocketException
-
Sets the SO_SNDBUF option to the specified value for this
DatagramSocket
. The SO_SNDBUF option is used by the network implementation as a hint to size the underlying network I/O buffers. The SO_SNDBUF setting may also be used by the network implementation to determine the maximum size of the packet that can be sent on this socket.
As SO_SNDBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffer is should call
getSendBufferSize()
.
Increasing the buffer size may allow multiple outgoing packets to be queued by the network implementation when the send rate is high.
Note: If #send() is used to send a DatagramPacket that is larger than the setting of SO_SNDBUF then it is implementation specific if the packet is sent or discarded.
-
-
Parameters:
-
size - the size to which to set the send buffer size. This value must be greater than 0.
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if the value is 0 or is negative.
-
See Also:
-
getSendBufferSize()
getSendBufferSize
public int getSendBufferSize()
throws SocketException
-
Get value of the SO_SNDBUF option for this
DatagramSocket
, that is the buffer size used by the platform for output on this
DatagramSocket
.
-
-
Returns:
-
the value of the SO_SNDBUF option for this
DatagramSocket
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
See Also:
-
setSendBufferSize(int)
setReceiveBufferSize
public void setReceiveBufferSize(int size)
throws SocketException
-
Sets the SO_RCVBUF option to the specified value for this
DatagramSocket
. The SO_RCVBUF option is used by the the network implementation as a hint to size the underlying network I/O buffers. The SO_RCVBUF setting may also be used by the network implementation to determine the maximum size of the packet that can be received on this socket.
Because SO_RCVBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffers were set to should call
getReceiveBufferSize()
.
Increasing SO_RCVBUF may allow the network implementation to buffer multiple packets when packets arrive faster than are being received using #receive().
Note: It is implementation specific if a packet larger than SO_RCVBUF can be received.
-
-
Parameters:
-
size - the size to which to set the receive buffer size. This value must be greater than 0.
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if the value is 0 or is negative.
-

DatagramSocket
.
-
-
Returns:
-
the value of the SO_RCVBUF option for this
DatagramSocket
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as an UDP error.
-
See Also:
-
setReceiveBufferSize(int)
setReuseAddress
public void setReuseAddress(boolean on)
throws SocketException
-
Enable/disable the SO_REUSEADDR socket option.
For UDP sockets it may be necessary to bind more than one socket to the same socket address. This is typically for the purpose of receiving multicast packets (See #java.net.MulticastSocket). The
SO_REUSEADDR
socket option allows multiple sockets to be bound to the same socket address if the
SO_REUSEADDR
socket option is enabled prior to binding the socket using
bind(SocketAddress)
.
When a
DatagramSocket
is created the initial setting of
SO_REUSEADDR
is disabled.
The behaviour when
SO_REUSEADDR
is enabled or disabled after a socket is bound (See
isBound()
) is not defined.
-
-
Parameters:
-
on - whether to enable or disable the
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if an error occurs enabling or disabling the
SO_RESUEADDR
socket option, or the socket is closed.

setTrafficClass
public void setTrafficClass(int tc)
throws SocketException
-
Sets traffic class or type-of-service octet in the IP datagram header for datagrams sent from this DatagramSocket. As the underlying network implementation may ignore this value applications should consider it a hint.
The tc
must
be in the range 0 <= tc
<= 255 or an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
Notes:
for Internet Protocol v4 the value consists of an octet with precedence and TOS fields as detailed in RFC 1349. The TOS field is bitset created by bitwise-or'ing values such the following :-
-
IPTOS_LOWCOST (0x02)
-
IPTOS_RELIABILITY (0x04)
-
IPTOS_THROUGHPUT (0x08)
-
IPTOS_LOWDELAY (0x10)
The last low order bit is always ignored as this corresponds to the MBZ (must be zero) bit.
Setting bits in the precedence field may result in a SocketException indicating that the operation is not permitted.
for Internet Protocol v6 tc is the value that would be placed into the sin6_flowinfo field of the IP header.
-
-
Parameters:
-
tc - an int value for the bitset.
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error setting the traffic class or type-of-service
-

getTrafficClass
public int getTrafficClass()
throws SocketException
-
Gets traffic class or type-of-service in the IP datagram header for packets sent from this DatagramSocket.
As the underlying network implementation may ignore the traffic class or type-of-service set using #setTrafficClass() this method may return a different value than was previously set using the #setTrafficClass() method on this DatagramSocket.
-
-
Returns:
-
the traffic class or type-of-service already set
-
Throws:
-
SocketException
- if there is an error obtaining the traffic class or type-of-service value.
