When receiving a packet on an unconnected UDP socket bound to 0.0.0.0 / INADDR_ANY

  • 0
  1. When receiving a packet on an unconnected UDP socket bound to 0.0.0.0/INADDR_ANY, how can I determine what the local IP it was sent to?
  2. Can I determine what interface it was received on?
  3. Can this be also be done for connection-oriented sockets such as TCP?

Update0

  1. Platform is Linux, so language is irrelevant but C is native.
  2. UDP sockets are bound to INADDR_ANY host, so getsockname() returns 0.0.0.0.

    Hmmm, have a look at this. So looks like there is probably a socket option, at least in the Linux/Unix world. What OSes does it need to work on?
