Java UDP

843790Nov 20 2007 — edited Nov 22 2007

Hi All,

In TCP/IP we can establish a full-duplex connection between server and client no matter if the client does or doesn't have a static IP address. Is it possible in UDP? To put it in other words, is it possible for a server to send DatagramPacket to a client who doesn't have a static IP? I firmly believe its not possible because the server just sees the IP of the ISP. I am trying to know this because I am doing a server-client app to test the network latency for udp, for this I want to generate packets from server upon request from client and I want client to do all the processing and analyzing of results based on packets received. Though I hope mine is not a novel idea, I want to try if its possible this way.

Any help or ideas to accomplish this is appreciated.

Greetings.
