In C++ using Windows32 using windows socket library using UDP is there a way to give a client routing information to another client to establish a connection between clients without having to route through the server

Clarification:

server – waits for computers and gives routing info – a detached server
client – sends a ack request and waits for routing info – a normal user computer

but ok so its not posible to give routing info to clients to interconnect clients without requiring the data to be forwarded through the server?

    Short answer: no

    Long answer: yes — but you have to use IPPROTO_IP, not IPPROTO_UDP. Use IP_OPTIONS option in setsockopt() to set source routing.
