Tcp to Udp modifications

Hi,

I'm working on Simple socket server example in which it uses tcp/ip...since I need high transmission speed without control flow... I'd like to use the udp/ip...what kind of modifications should I do in Simple Socket Server example to use udp instead of tcp????

Regards

    I think that this wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket) is a good start to learn how to use the API, and it shows the difference between UDP and TCP handling, from both the server and client sides.

    Remember that with UDP you may loose packets, as you have no flow control or acknowledge mechanism.

    edit simple_socket_server.c file and write your own UDP code, disable the previous one completely.

    It depends on too many factors to give a generic answer. You must run some tests.
