Struct MulticastServer

pub struct MulticastServer { /* private fields */ }

A UDP server.

After creating a UdpSocket by binding it to a socket address, data can be sent to and received from any other socket address.

Although UDP is a connectionless protocol, this implementation provides an interface to set an address where data should be sent and received from. After setting a remote address with connect, data can be sent to and received from that address with send and recv.

As stated in the User Datagram Protocol’s specification in IETF RFC 768, UDP is an unordered, unreliable protocol;

This server is used to send multicast packets to all members of a multicast group.

Implementations

impl Server

pub fn new( multicast: Ipv4Addr, bind: SocketAddr, mtu: usize, ) -> Result<Self, Error>

Creates a UDP socket from the given address.

You need to specify the multicast group for the udp session to join to the specified multicast group.

Note that only IPV4 is supported.

MTU is used to specify the network unit size, this is used to limit the maximum size of packets sent.

pub fn send(&mut self, bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Sends data on the socket to the remote address to which it is connected.

Sends the packet to all members of the multicast group.

Note that there may be packet loss.
