Ok, a networking and a Linux question.
First, does anyone have a reference (URL or source code) that shows how
to receive UDP broadcast packets from multiple sending devices? In
other words, if I have two net devices each broadcasting UDP packets, I
want to build a listener that will capture the packets from both devices
(or more as I add devices).
The Linux half of the question: is there a quick CLI way of playing
with UDP similar to utilities like tcpconnect? I want to be able to
examine the payloads before I dive into writing a C program although
maybe writing the C program that just echos the payload is the way to go
to figure out the base network stack.
