UDP support

Open cecton opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello,

Do you think it would be possible to get UDP support on this program?

Kind regards

There are no immediate plans of implementing that, but fundamentally it should be possible. I haven't yet looked at the Go library for UDP and how similar its stack there is to TCP, but I would expect that it is fairly similar.

I read that UDP is connectionless.

On a somewhat similar program to socket-activate I noticed that the socket object is created for every message that is transmitted and closed right after. I think it's because UDP is connectionless and you don't need to maintain those objects. That might impact your implementation a lot.
