I want to send monitoring messages using udp protocol.
I have to monitor many systems in the same moment, so I have to send
monitoring messages in the same moment. but I have a problem:
The udp receiver, receives the messages of the last system selected to
monitor and not of the all systems monitored.

why?
I have to use thread?

thanks

This is the code

It looks like you are trying to create a new socket for each remote host, or even each packet sent - I'm not sure which. You shouldn't. Just create one socket for sending to all the remote hosts. Ican't remember whether you create each DatagramPacket with a different address/port, or whether you use sendTo() now, but either way you only need one socket. And the same socket can be used to receive packets from all remotes. Just check where each packet came from.
