Socket type/protocol question
-
I was looking through the docs for what type of sockets I can create with the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class and I saw "RDM" - Reliable Data Messaging. To me this seems like quite a nice swap-in alternative to UDP in some cases [when speed isnt terribly important, but there's no need to create a connection then destroy it like TCP would require] I tried to create it with the address family InterNetwork [IP v4.. normal internet] and Undefined protocol-type... since there's nothing there that looks like it would be RDM. When it tried to create the socket, it threw an exception that the address family doesnt support RDM. Now... for one I'd like to have RDM for Internetwork..... but in any case.. does anyone know where I can find any info about the different socket-type/protocol combinations with their supporting address families. Thanks.
