多播

多播是一种数据报套接字。与常规数据报不同，多播不会单独处理每个客户端，而是将其发送到一个 IP 地址，所有订阅的客户端都将收到消息。

服务器端的示例代码：

public class Server {
    
    private DatagramSocket serverSocket;
    
    private String ip;
    
    private int port;
    
    public Server(String ip, int port) throws SocketException, IOException{
        this.ip = ip;
        this.port = port;
        // socket used to send
        serverSocket = new DatagramSocket();
    }
    
    public void send() throws IOException{
        // make datagram packet
        byte[] message = ("Multicasting...").getBytes();
        DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(message, message.length, 
            InetAddress.getByName(ip), port);
        // send packet
        serverSocket.send(packet);
    }
    
    public void close(){
        serverSocket.close();
    }
}

客户端的示例代码：

public class Client {
    
    private MulticastSocket socket;
    
    public Client(String ip, int port) throws IOException {
        
        // important that this is a multicast socket
        socket = new MulticastSocket(port);
        
        // join by ip
        socket.joinGroup(InetAddress.getByName(ip));
    }
    
    public void printMessage() throws IOException{
        // make datagram packet to recieve
        byte[] message = new byte[256];
        DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(message, message.length);
        
        // recieve the packet
        socket.receive(packet);
        System.out.println(new String(packet.getData()));
    }
    
    public void close(){
        socket.close();
    }
}

运行服务器的代码：

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        final String ip = args[0];
        final int port = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        Server server = new Server(ip, port);
        server.send();
        server.close();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

运行客户端的代码：

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        final String ip = args[0];
        final int port = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        Client client = new Client(ip, port);
        client.printMessage();
        client.close();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

首先运行客户端： 客户端必须先订阅 IP 才能开始接收任何数据包。如果你启动服务器并调用 send() 方法，然后创建一个客户端（并调用 printMessage()）。由于客户端在邮件发送后连接，因此不会发生任何事情。
