Hello listamtes, Here's is a curious issue: netcat (nc) seems to not do UDP for me, even though TCP works flawlessly. Not even on the local host. Here's the "server session" I am running: cat test.dd | nc -l -u -n -k -v 2456 (test.dd is just a large file with random data) Here's the client: nc -v -u 127.0.0.1 2456 | dd of=/dev/null ^C0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 219.944 s, 0.0 kB/s Here's what netstat reports: netstat -a -n | grep 2456 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2456 0.0.0.0:* udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:52394 127.0.0.1:2456 ESTABLISHED unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 12456 So the connection is established - but no data appears to be getting transferred. This behaviour seems to be the same on CentOS 6 and LinuxMint. Any idea what may be going on? Thanks. Boris. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
