UDP module about vert.x HOT 8 CLOSED

I wonder why this is closed?
I'd really amazing to have UDP in vert.x :)

Actually, could it be implemented by simply wrapping around java.core.net.DatagramSocket or some sort of explicitly asynchronous implementation?

Same question as above.

from vert.x.

Since vert.x uses Netty it can uses the Connectionless Bootstrap. I am unaware of Vert.x internals, but if it helps, here are few links from a game server I have published which shows Netty UDP code.
The UDP Server
Class using the datagram channel
Netty UDP Client

Ofcourse, Netty website itself has these stuff, what I wanted to point out is, that using a simple concurrenthashmap registry, and associating the UDP datagram channel with a session(which will have a tcp connection) it is possible for the same session to have both UDP and TCP transports and client/server can choose to send message over the respective transport using a Delivery Guaranty

I was also curious about this.

There's no reason why we can't do this. It's just there are a lot of other things on the TODO list as well.

I'll reopen the issue. If someone wants to take it on, please go ahead.

Hi all,
is there a reason why this issue has been closed ?
has this been implemented ?

from vert.x.

I hope this feature still is in the TODO list. This would be perfect for communicating embedded hardware, low level applications, and mobile devices with low latency.

It's on my to-do list
