I'm trying to find a simple way take an incoming video stream over UDP and forward it onto another ip address. I don't want to decode the video or view it for anything. I just want a program that accepts the packets and passes them onto another computer on different port. Effectivly a router I guess.
So far I have been using the System.Net.Sockets to try the following code
Declerations:
Sub:Code:Public receivingUdpClient As UdpClient Public RemoteIpEndPoint As New System.Net.IPEndPoint(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, 0) Dim udpClient As New UdpClient Dim OutputIP As System.Net.IPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1") Dim OutputPort As Integer = 1250 Dim InputPort As Integer = 1234
I am aware I'm sending it onto the same computer, I'm only doing it for now for testing purposes. I know this will need to run in a separate thread so that the program doesn't hang waiting for it to finish (which it never will)Code:udpClient.Connect(OutputIP, OutputPort) receivingUdpClient = New System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient(InputPort) udpClient.Send(receivingUdpClient.Receive(RemoteIpEndPoint), 0)
I'm being a bit ambishous puting the receive code into the send method. What would be the best way to do this? Use 2 threads, one for receive and one for send? Save it to a buffer?
Any help would be awsome as network stuff is not my thing.
