LUDPEndpoint

LUDPEndpoint is a PowerPlant class that is used for implementing Internet UDP endpoints. UDP is the sessionless protocol of the Internet, and is used by a handful of protocols such as NTP (network time protocol).

Methods :

The methods in this class are:

LUDPEndpoint()	~LUDPEndpoint()
ReceiveFrom()	SendPacketData()

Data Members:

There are no data members in this class.

Operation:

In PowerPlant, there are two subclasses of LUDPEndpoint, named LMacUDPEndpoint and LOpenTptUDPEndpoint. The appropriate class is created automatically when you call UNetworkFactory::CreateUDPEndpoint().

LUDPEndpoint()

Purpose:

The constructor creates the object.

Access :

Public

Prototype:

LUDPEndpoint();

None

~LUDPEndpoint()

Purpose:

The destructor destroys the object.

Access :

Virtual, Public

Prototype:

~LUDPEndpoint();

ReceiveFrom()

Purpose:

Receive UDP datagrams.

Access :

Pure virtual, Public

Prototype:

void ReceiveFrom( LInternetAddress&

	void* outDataBuffer,

	UInt32& ioDataSize,

	UInt32	 inTimeoutTicks = Timeout_None) = 0;

The parameter for these constructors is:

LInternetAddress	outRemoteAddress	The pointer to the thread.
void*	outDataBuffer	The buffer.
UInt32&	ioDataSize	The size of the data.
UInt32	inTimeoutTicks	The time to wait. The default is Timeout_None.

Return:

None

SendPacketData()

Purpose:

Send UDP datagrams.

Access :

Pure virtual, Public

Prototype:

void SendPacketData(

	LInternetAddress& inRemoteHost,

	void* inData,

	UInt32 inDataSize) = 0;

The parameter for these constructors is:

LInternetAddress	inRemoteHost	The address.
void*	inData	The buffer.
UInt32&	inDataSize	The size of the data.

Return:

None
