LUBE: Receiving answers to an UDP broadcast fails

Open Boolsheet opened this issue 13 years ago • 0 comments

It's currently not possible to receive answers to an UDP broadcast because udpClient:_receive checks the incoming datagrams against the connected IP address, which is a broadcast address. It dismisses all messages.

The current design apparently expects the clients to know who their getting messages from as the recv callback does not pass on the IP address an port. This would be another problem with UDP broadcasts.
