A few years ago, I was working on a application that would communicate between computers using direct connect. I recall that there was a port I would send to when I was wanting to test using only one computer. This port would treat the packet as if it was being sent to the computer from another computer or… something.
I apologize for being somewhat vague, but I am not recalling the specific details of what it was I had done. I just recall that it was very convenient for testing purposes. I would run the application twice, and have one act as a server and the other as a client. They would both be sending from different ports, but would both send to the same ‘local’ port… Or something like that.
Anyone know what I’m talking about? I want to know what port number this would be. I believe it was reserved for such use.
Thank you,
Jonathan
I was asking for the “String” address localhost that you can use when creating a Socket in Java.
