Boost UDP Peer

Asynchronous Boost.Asio UDP Sender/Receiver Peer example.

Requirements

• C++ 17 compiler
• CMake 3.22.0
• Boost 1.74.0
• GoogleTest 1.11.0

Example

boost::asio::io_context context;
std::thread thread([&context]() { context.run(); });

struct : UdpPeer::Observer {
  void onReceivedFrom(const char *data, size_t size,
                      const boost::asio::ip::udp::endpoint &endpoint) {
    std::cout << "data received from endpoint address "
              << endpoint.address().to_string() << ": ";
    std::cout.write(data, size);
    std::cout << std::endl;
  };
} observer;

UdpPeer receiver{context, observer};
receiver.openSocket(boost::asio::ip::udp::v4());
receiver.bind(1234);
receiver.startReceiving();

UdpPeer sender{context, observer};
sender.openSocket(boost::asio::ip::udp::v4());
std::string msg("example");
sender.sendTo(msg.data(), msg.size(), {boost::asio::ip::udp::v4(), 1234});
