TSocket and UDP

ROOT
1

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to send ROOT objects over the network using UDP. I have used TSocket successfully with TCP/IP, but looking at the relevant source code it looks like UDP is not supported.

There is a thread from 6 or 7 years ago where someone asked a similar question and the answer was that this feature would be implemented soon. So, is UDP support available in TSocket or is there another good way to send TObject-derived objects over the network?

Thank you,
Jochen

Hi,

the UDP contribution we thought we would be getting never panned out, so there is no UDP implementation yet. We only support TCP and Unix sockets for the time being. Any UDP support contribution is more then welcome.
