dotnet distributed apps: Hello all

I am attempting to broadcast IPv6 messages in a LAN and process every broadcast reply, storing the IP of each individual machine replying to the broadcast

I have the code

broadcastSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IPv6,SocketOptionName.Broadcast,0);

public void doBroadcast(

tr

IPAddress broadcastAddress = IPAddress.Parse("255.255.255.255"); // i.e, broadcas
int broadcastPort = 1501
IPEndPoint broadcastEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(broadcastAddress, broadcastPort)
broadcastSocket.Connect(broadcastEndPoint);
}
catch(Exception ex

MessageBox.Show("Generic exception caught while attempting to broadcast: " + ex.ToString())


1 - How do I send the actual packet ?
2 - Which mechanism do I use to process the reply packet

Thank you

1) You can use SendTo & ReceiveFrom to send & receive packets.
2) In your code below, you are parsing an IPv4 broadcast address, whereas
you want to send on the IPv6 broadcast. Make sure you set your endpoint in
SendTo correctly
