Get destination addres for UDP in nodejs
networking, node.js, udp
Solution
It is currently not possible.
See this Github bug link
Workaround:
- have different internal ports for the broadcast and the normal traffic.
- Use iptables to redirect broadcast traffic to one of the internal port and the other traffic to the other port.
Problem
My server listens on a UDP port and also receives broadcast messages. Can I detect somehow if the received message was sent to my ip directly or to a broadcast address? `rinfo` just gives me the sender information
