Re: howto receive and *understand* via UDP

Hi,

I've been asked to write an app that connects to a program that I know
nothing about. The only information I have is that it's sending data to a
specific IP via UDP. The data is likely to be small, just some numbers.
I've seen how to connect() via UDP but ...

My questions is, how do I go about writing for something like this if I
know nothing about the data sizes and how the other app is sending them,
other than the above info? How do you parse such data?

Any help, suggestions, tips, etc... much appreciated.

Google ethereal. If will allow you to capture UDP data.From there you should
be able to see how the packet exchange is working. I did almost this exact
same thing to figure out how to talk to sign posts at a call center.
