Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.bind.

Binds this DatagramSocket to a specific address and port.

If the address is null, then the system will pick up an ephemeral port and a valid local address to bind the socket.

Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.close.

Implements java.io.Closeable.close.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.close.

Closes this datagram socket.

Any thread currently blocked in receive upon this socket will throw a SocketException.

If this socket has an associated channel then the channel is closed as well.

Once closed, several of the methods defined by this class will throw an exception if invoked on the closed socket.

Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.connect.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.connect.

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 socket is already closed, then this method has no effect.

If this socket is not bound then this method will first cause the socket to be bound to an address that is assigned automatically, as if invoking the bind method with a parameter of null. 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.

If this socket is already connected, then this method will attempt to connect to the given address. If this connect fails then the state of this socket is unknown - it may or may not be connected to the address that it was previously connected to.

When the socket is connected, the send method checks that the packet's address matches the remote address that the socket is connected to. A socket connected to a multicast address may only be used to send packets. Datagrams in the socket's socket receive buffer, which have not been received before invoking this method, may be discarded.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.connect.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.connect.

Connects this socket to a remote socket address (IP address + port number).

If given an InetSocketAddress, this method behaves as if invoking connect(InetAddress,int) with the given socket addresses IP address and port number, except that the SocketException that may be raised is not wrapped in an UncheckedIOException. Datagrams in the socket's socket receive buffer, which have not been received before invoking this method, may be discarded.

If this socket is already connected, then this method will attempt to connect to the given address. If this connect fails then the state of this socket is unknown - it may or may not be connected to the address that it was previously connected to.

Overrides java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup.

Doc from java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup.

Joins a multicast group.

In order to join a multicast group, the caller should specify the IP address of the multicast group to join, and the local network interface to receive multicast packets from.

• The mcastaddr argument indicates the IP address of the multicast group to join. For historical reasons this is specified as a SocketAddress. The default implementation only supports InetSocketAddress and the port information is ignored.
• The netIf argument specifies the local interface to receive multicast datagram packets, or null to defer to the interface set for outgoing multicast datagrams. If null, and no interface has been set, the behaviour is unspecified: any interface may be selected or the operation may fail with a SocketException.

It is possible to call this method several times to join several different multicast groups, or join the same group in several different networks. However, if the socket is already a member of the group, an IOException will be thrown.

Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.receive.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.receive.

Receives a datagram packet from this socket. This method blocks until a datagram is received. 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. 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.

This method is interruptible in the following circumstances:

1. The datagram socket is associated with a DatagramChannel. In that case, interrupting a thread receiving a datagram packet will close the underlying channel and cause this method to throw java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException with the thread's interrupted status set.
2. The datagram socket uses the system-default socket implementation and a virtual thread is receiving a datagram packet. In that case, interrupting the virtual thread will cause it to wakeup and close the socket. This method will then throw SocketException with the thread's interrupted status set.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.setReceiveBufferSize.

Sets the SO_RCVBUF option to the specified value for this DatagramSocket. The SO_RCVBUF option is used by 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(DatagramPacket).

Overrides java.net.DatagramSocket.setReuseAddress.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.setReuseAddress.

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.

Doc from java.net.DatagramSocket.setSendBufferSize.

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.

With this option set to a positive timeout value, a call to receive() for this DatagramSocket will block for only this amount of time.
