UDP Communication

This is a small example for a client-server-based UDP communication.

Build and install

We use Boost's asio libraries for UDP socket management. You can install them with

sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev

In a terminal, get the repo with

git clone https://github.com/stefanscherzinger/udp_communication.git

and inside that repo

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
cmake --install . --prefix $HOME/install

In every new terminal, use

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/install/bin

to make both the server and client binaries globally available. You can then start them, e.g. with

server 9001

and

client 9001

and watch them communicate on 127.0.0.1 (localhost by default) on port 9001.
