Hey all
I would like to open a datagram listening socket and be able to send back to clients from which I received messages. It seems both [netsend -u] and (obviously) [netreceive -u] actually can open a listening socket. However, [netreceive -u] can't send anything back. While [netsend -u] can send messages back, it doesn't show the source address of the incoming packets. And using [netreceive -u] for receiving and [netsend -u] for sending back doesn't work, because for the packets to arrive at the client, they need to be sent from the same port that is already occupied by [netreceive].
Yet, as long as I used TCP and iemnet, this was possible. However, as far as I can tell, it's not possible with UDP, neither with iemnet nor with Pd's built-in classes.
Is that something worth to make a feature request for?
While we're at it, it seems [netreceive] (in TCP mode) can only send back to all connected clients, but not to a specific one.
