virtual P6R::P6ERR P6R::p6IUdpSocket::connect ( P6NETADDR *  pRemoteAddr, P6INTERVAL  timeout  )

pure virtual

Connect the socket with the end-point specified in pRemoteAddr.

Connecting a UDP socket is usually done on when there is one remote end-point and it has the advantage that if the server were to die, the client's send will fail thereby notifying the client that the server is gone.

Not connecting a UDP socket has the advantage of being able to handle traffic for multiple clients on a single socket, allowing the server to scale much better.

Parameters

pRemoteAddr	A pointer to a P6NETADDR which contains the remote address to connect with.
timeout	The timeout in milliseconds to wait for the connection.

Returns
