accept() and SOCK_DGRAM

accept() and SOCK_DGRAM

Visual Studio266
From my tests I can see that accept() is not called when using SOCK_DGRAM,

only when using SOCK_STREAM, when creating the SOCKET. How can you make sure

the connection is established in SOCK_DGRAM before you start trying to send

data?

???? Have you read the docu of the ISO/OSI-model?

The difference between stream and datagram is the a stream is

"connection-oriented" and a datagram is not...

Therefor a datagram will never have a connection... this also implies

that messages might get lost...
