UDP Broadcast address


  • Subject: UDP Broadcast address

Whilst doing some PIC debugging I noticed that not all xAP
applications
use the same UDP broadcast address.

A few, including Netiom, use 255.255.255.255 (limited broadcast)

Most Windows apps use the local subnet broadcast of, say, 192.168.0.255
(for a 192.168.0.0 network,  mask 255.255.255.0) - Patricks' C library
and my PIC code do too.

So, are both correct as they may be delivered to different nets and
require extra low level UDP socket handling?
