A datagram socket is used to send and receive datagram packets. A
DatagramSocket object is a local connection to a port that does the
sending and receiving. There is no distinction between a UDP socket and a
UDP server socket. Also unlike TCP sockets, a DatagramSocket can send
to multiple, different addresses. The address to which data goes is
stored in the packet, not in the socket. Some applications that you
write to communicate over the network will not require the reliable,
point-to-point channel provided by TCP. Rather, your applications might
benefit from a mode of communication that delivers independent packages
of information. The DatagramPacket and DatagramSocket classes in the
java.net package implement system-independent datagram communication
using UDP. more...
