Can't read UDP packets

Hi everyone. I'm triying to read the UDP packets that a board with a CPU and ethernet module is sending me via ethernet connection. In the board I've just implemented a static IP+UDP packet that only needs to change the data in order to send a temperature that the board measures. The packets are sent well and I can see them with a sniffer software like Wireshark like UDP packets with all the IP's, MACs and that stuff. The problem is that in Labview I'm not capable to read that data, even I can't read anything. I tried the UDP open + UDP read specifiying the destination port (40056 in my case).
Any help please???
Although, I wanted to ask if the destination IP is strictly necessary if you specify the MAC adress.
Thank you

How can i attach a user-specified header to each UDP packet?

Hello,
i have here a question about UDP:
i want to stream live-videos using UDP. To avoid/observe some possible problems that could occur (e.g. wrong packet-order, packet loss etc.) i am planning to add a header to each UDP packet with e.g. frame-nr. , frame-size, packet-nr...
Question:
1. (How) Can i control the UDP packet size in LabVIEW?
2. If possible, how can i add a user specified header to each/certain (e.g. the first or the last packet of the frame) packet?
Thanks!

WLAN,
i just copied the help regarding the max size-terminal from the LV-help:
"max size is the maximum number of bytes to read. The default is 548. Windows If you wire a value other than 548 to this input, Windows might return an error because the function cannot read fewer bytes than are in a packet"
So, please do not change this value....
UDP creates packets from the data you transmitt. Each packet in Windows should have a size of 548 bytes or less. So this should read one whole packet at a time.... Decreasing this could lead to problems if the packet is larger.... Increasing this value changes nothing since the packets themselfs do not get larger only by trying to read more bytes..... Since you cannot alter the packetsize from LV, you shouldnt bother about that anymore.
And to add (again): UDP does not garantuee ANY correct transission. So you will never get any note if the first packet of a frame was lost. If you need some kind of garantuee for this, you have to use TCP (btw. infact, the TCP header uses 192 bytes, containing the infos like seen in the attached gif).

JMF How to stream rtp from udp packet

I implemented an rtsp client and use the client to setup two rtp session(audio, vedio). But when I use the example pramgram "AVReceive3" to stream the udp packet, it doesn't work.
When the AVReceive3 receive the udp packet from the rtp port, it will call the update(ReceiveStreamEvent evt) function, and the event type is StreamMappedEvent, and the call to evt.getReceiveStream().getDataSource() return null.
I thought the first event should be NewReceiveStreamEvent. Please help to solve the problem.
What's rtp packet will cause the event StreamMappedEvent.

The error of No format has been registered for RTP Payload type 96
is caused by the dynamic payload mapping, when I add the dynamic mapping between dynamic payload and format. The Player cann't work yet. I think it because JMF doesn't support the format of my clips. For example:
video: a=rtpmap:96 H263-2000/90000
audio:a=rtpmap:97 MP4A-LATM/12000/1
Is there some available plugin to support these format?
Thanks

anyone help!! Thanks a lot.

also interesting, when setting DNS servers IPs in Network Settings for your host,
it is important that the IPs are not doubled.
in example if you have Networksettings like
automatic DHCP given from router or server.
IP-Adress: 192.168.2.2
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Router IP: 192.168.2.1
DNS-Server: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.2.2
wich means localhost and again same machine, just different IP..
then your lookup mechanism has to walk thru this steps to know if there is nothing inside to resolve adresses.
which means in this example it would take double the time if DNS-Server would be just 127.0.0.1
you can see if there is a lot to work thru in your logs.
look for something like "sizing zone task pool based on 9 zones".
this mount of zones will change if you set the correct DNS server IP.
more zones are slower than less, very logical!
but this will not solve your problem with packet size at all, it just reduces circles after dns resolves not known adresses even with packet size change.

Java NIO - UDP packets

I'm curious as to the rationale behind having a DatagramPacket class and just using ByteBuffers for TCP connections. I can see the logic, but I'm trying to write a Java framework wrapping NIO with TCP and UDP connections. In my C++ version I have one packet class that I use for both types of connections. I'm stuck with what to implement for Java as I'm going to need two classes, NIO's DatagramPacket and a new TCPPacket. Ideally I would like both to implement an interface or derive from a parent class so I can pass them to all class methods that deal with packets, be they UDP or TCP based. But this won't work. I could wrap DatagramPacket into a new class, and have it and the TCPPacket class implement a Packet interface. But when I'm sending UDP packets I'll be creating two objects for the price of one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Remember that in UDP case you can easily lose packets and never know. In TCP you would receive an exception, but UDP can silently discard your packages while in transit.
My point is, you probably should use a different package class for UDP anyway, maybe adding some stuff like a package ID that would enable re-sending and additional processing in order to ensure a successful communication.
If you already have this information and some procedures for retrying in your package, then I agree with the previous poster in that you can use bytebuffer for both.

UDP Packet Basic

Now i'm doing socket programming using UDP and TCP/IP and now again i
need your help.
1. Can UDP packet in Java put into data structure like C? or packet map to a java object but sender is not using Java program or serialize object.
2. What is the easiest way to extract the UDP packet in Java?
assume the structure like this.
sampleMessageHeader
MessageCode UInt 16
TimeStamp UInt 32
Message Char(12)

1. Serialisation - no problem. However, if the other end doesn't have a Java serialisation library (i.e. isn't using Java) then you'll have to serialise manually. (Well - it may be possible to find documentation on the serialisation format and strip the headers before you put the bytes into a UDP packet, but such a mechanism would be a mess and a headache).
2. packet.getData() gives you a byte[]. Wrap a ByteArrayInputStream round it, and a DataInputStream around that. Then assuming appropriate byte-ordering you'll be able to read ints and shorts. Of course, Java doesn't have a UInt type, and the meaning of Char depends on your C header files.

UDPevent? What should I use to make an event when an UDP packet arrives?

every time my machine gets an UDP packet I need to write out the time(within millisec), and therefor I need to find an eventnotifier of some kind that checks for UDP packets arriving..

oki.. so I'm building a class for reciving the packets.. I guess i should use a thread since my program allredy is reciving these packets whit JMF - reciveStream.
now the problem is, how do I write out the time for each packet, i cant seem to find any events i can use for this, and as far as I can see, the datagarmsocket is listening for the packets and doing something with them(**) without somewhere for me to put the: System.out.printeln(time);
(**) I am going to write the packets to a file and parse it for the sequence numbers, how do I do this?

IP Multicast: UDP Packet size!

Hi,
          Does anyone know what is the size of the UDP packets which WLS
          allocates to receive broadcast messages in a clsutered enviroment. I am
          running into issues as we have a limitation on JVM/platform combination,
          where we can have message size of only 32K be allocated for UDP packets
          ?? Is ther eany way to configure WLS to use smaller packet sizes?
          TIA,
          Sam


WLS uses 32 K. UDP packets by default. So, you should not have any problems
          on our certified platforms.
          Are you by any chance trying to run the server on Tandem?
          Thanks,

UDP packet checksum error

We got two SF4800 running Oracle RAC on Solaris 9 and Sun Cluster 3.1. We found the udpInCksumErrs counter dumps up suddenly when the server loading increases. We tried to use an packet analyzer software to monitor a mirrored network ports of them, but failed to find any UDP packets with incorrect check sum.
What is the meaning of udpInCksumErrs? Will it affect the system?

As far as I know, the Sun Cluster heartbeat does not use UDP. It just uses raw ethernet frames of type 0833. You can see these if you do a snoop on the interface. I pretty sure that the UDP packets are from the Oracle RAC distributed lock manager/cache fusion.
I would have thought, again, that RAC would create the packets it needed and ask Solaris to send them. (I'm checking this with a colleague). From scanning the bugs database, it would appear that there are a number of recommendations:
* Ensure the latest patches have been applied
* Make sure the system has been installed in accordance with Sun's EIS checklist (if Sun installed the system this would have happened).
Which says:
When using supported network adapters which use the ce driver for private
transport, insert into file /etc/system:
set ce:ce_taskq_disable=1

Not receiving UDP packet with Windows

Using a Windows 2000 Professional system I send a UDP packet (DatagramSocket()/DatagramPacket()) to a server, which returns a UDP packet on the same socket. Simple textbook stuff! The Java application works fine on a Linux machine, but catches an SocketException with "socket closed" message from the receive() method when run on a Windows 2000 machine. What gives? I have disabled the security checks and still can't get the packet. Any suggestions? (other than ditch Windows)

I got the same problem. I ran the identical program on WinXP and no exception! What's the cause for this? How to avoid it?
Thanks,

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

What can I do about Packet Loss?

Hey Verizon Community,
As the title says, what can I do about packet loss?
I have been having network spike issues in the video game Starcraft II, and Blizzard support told me to run a pathping to their servers (pathping pasted below). Upon doing that, I discovered that in hop 4, also known as G0-5-4-5.BLTMMD-LCR-22.verizon-gni.net [130.81.191.214], there was 2% packet loss. What can I do about this? Who can I contact to try and get this resolved?

Actually it means nothing since its in the middle of the tracert. Probably the server supports the ping, but at a very low priority so the packets are being counted as lost. Many servers don't even respond to tracert.

ASA 5510 'bounces' UDP packets. Why?

Hi. I hope to find someone who can shed a light on something that is bugging me for days now. We have an ASA (5510, running 7.2(2)) to connect our subnets to the backbone of the ISP. I received complaints about one specific connection, which I'll "draw" here:
[ remote host 192.87.x.y (A) ] -- {"Internet"} -- [ Telecity Router ] -- [ Our ASA ] -- [ switch ] -- [ fibre ] -- [ switch ] -- [ our host 82.199.c.d (B) ]
What happens is the following: I can successfully ping from A to B and back. I can also traceroute (UDP) from A to B and back. But a specific UDP packet sent by A (port 9001) to B (port 5432) is causing a problem. "Our ASA" does not route the packet to the correct interface, but sends it back to the Telecity router instead. Which in turn sends it back to "Our ASA" (since it is destined for our subnet). This goes back and forth for 60 times and then the TTL is expired.
I have no idear what is happening here. The access-lists are correctly configured (as far as I know), but even if they weren't I would expect the packets to get dropped rather than put back on the sending interface. This packet is bounced (on ethernetlevel, the IP part remains the same apart from the TTL) to the sending router.
Any pointers as to where to look for what is causing this and how to investigate this further are highly appreciated.

Hi Frederico. Of course I tried the packet tracer as one of the first tools :-). It showed a complete path (I used ASDM). Now I retried it (via the CLI) and something strange happens. This is a packet trace A to B with udp from port 9001 to 5431 (not 5432):

Result:
input-interface: my_backbone / input-status: up / input-line-status: up / Action: allow
Apparently the packet is send into an existing flow (is there a command to see what this flow is?) and that is where it ends. Now I need to find out why this is happening... This firewall has been reloaded a few times, but that did not solve the problem. Any pointers are highly appreciated as was this hint.

Error reading SMTP packet

Can anybody point me to the right direction? I keep getting this error once in a while. Is it a network or mail server problem?

Look at the time stamps toward the end of the slave_debug log file:
The server received the connection, sent the banner, received the EHLO, and replied to it all around 17:57:10.
Then STARTTLS and EHLO around 17:57:12. Then:

18:03:00.75: os_smtp_read: [9] network read returned no data
It was over 5 minutes from when the server sent the response to the MAIL FROM until when the client sent the RCPT TO.
The server responded to the RCPT TO quickly enough, but then found the connection from the client had been closed.
This looks like a client problem or network performance problem.
It is also conceivable that it is is a server performance problem and it takes 5 minutes for the server process/thread to get back to receiving the RCPT TO. But, if that was the case, I would expect you to be complaining about the server performance rather than these occasional errors.
