I have broken my data up into smaller packets and have that working for the most part. I appreciate your article and look forward to the next one.

Cheers,

Glad it’s helpful! I’m working on the next article now.

I’d suggest breaking your 50k blocks up into smaller chunks – UDP has a maximum size of 65536 bytes, but that’s the specified maximum and some implementations (including, potentially, routers) may have a smaller max size. Plus, the bigger your chunks, the more you have to lose if you drop a packet.

You can include your own packet ordering provisions if you need them to arrive in the same order – i’ll be talking a little about that in the next part.

This is quite helpful. I'm interested in how you would handle larger data (more than your 1024 bytes) since when I try this with larger data (~50k) I get a EMSGSIZE (40) error in the errno global after my call to sendto.</p> <p>I'd also love to see your follow up post about handling other interfaces.</p> <p>Please feel free to contact me directly.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Levi</p> Thank you!
