I'm looking for a couple high level pointers to writing a UDP server that will be acknowledging data at a rate of approximately twelve packets every second and will be running on and older but more or less dedicated Solaris 9 box.
Acknowledging the data packets is relatively simple, after checksumming I need only pull the header data from the original packet and include it in the acknowledgment. I will need to keep a log of the acknowledgments sent, either by just streaming to a binary file or to an archive via MQSeries.
It's been suggested that I look into inetd... I'm also looking over a couple simple UDP client/server examples, but I'm a relative noob at networking and could use a couple high level pointers lest I end up in any number of rabbit-holes along the way.
Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
