- UDPTransport is a sample transport system. See "NetWork Transport Systems" for
- information on transport systems.
-
- The amount of memory passed to MacTCP for buffering depends on the amount of
- memory you make available to UDPTransport. The larger the application partition,
- the more datagrams can be processed at a time.
-
- Depending upon your MacTCP configuration, and whether UDPTransport is the first
- application that uses MacTCP, startup of UDPTransport may appear the machine
- to hang for several seconds. This is a problem of MacTCP, not UDPTransport.
-
- UDPTransport uses the port number 40. I don“t know whether this conflicts with
- other internet services, therefore be warned.
-
- UDPTransport is written in C, because there are no Pascal interfaces to MacTCP.
- The error codes returned are not final.
-
- UDPTransport does not support split information - all data is sent as a single
- UDP datagram (which of course may be fragmented by IP). Also, it does not support
- aborting the transfer while in progress.
-
- Unfortunately, MacTCP does not support interruption of a transfer in progress.
- This is a violation of the requirement that no user memory is accessed after
- an abort.
