B4R Question UDP: Are own packets filtered automatically?

[KMatle]

I'm playing with B4J and B4R sending/receiving UDP-packets. As it seems, in B4J own packets are received, too. In B4R not. Are these filtered automatically?

Are you sending the packets to the broadcast address?

 

[KMatle]

Yes. No big issue, just wondering as in B4J own packets arrive (as expected as it is broadcasted), in B4R own packets don't arrive, only (wanted) "foreign".

In B4J:

usocket.Initialize2("usocket", 51042, 8192, True, False) 'reuse is set to true
'to allow multiple applications to listen to this port
Log($"Broadcast address: ${usocket.GetBroadcastAddress}"$)

which logs

Broadcast address: 192.168.178.255

Dim up As UDPPacket
up.Initialize(AES_Encrypt("B4JEncrypted","Secret"),"192.168.178.255",51042)
usocket.Send(up)

In B4R:

Sub Process_Globals
Private ip() As Byte = Array As Byte(192, 168, 178, 255)

....

usocket.BeginPacket(ip, port)
Log("Sending packet. ",usocket.Write(mc), " Bytes written...")
usocket.SendPacket

I don't think that anything is filtered. It depends on the router behavior. Better to expect such messages and ignore them.
