UDP Broadcast #269

Open sjmackenzie opened 4 years ago

sjmackenzie commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to achieve broadcast so that I don't need to resend a large amount of datagrams to a different address. Is there a way to achieve sending UDP datagrams to multiple parties?

Using standard UDP broadcast is not supported generally by laminar. However, you may be able to get away with it if you try to use UDP broadcast with the unreliable guarantees which "may" work fine.

@sjmackenzie See my comments about raptorq in #225, they may be helpful.
