Re: [Boost-users] [getting IP-header]How do I get the IP-header information

I'm not sure exactly what I need just yet. I think remote client info is a good place to start. The thing is that I do not understand where to look. The socket seems to be created in this statement: Receiver::Receiver(int port) : socket(io_service, boost::asio::ip::udp::endpoint(boost::asio::ip::udp::v4(), port)), connected(false), listener(0) { } So is in "socket" somewhere? /Mats 2009/10/29 Jonathan Franklin :

I'm trying to get the IP-header information from an IP-message sent using boost.

Which fields are you looking for?  If you just want information about the remote (client) host, you can get that via the asio api when a connection is made.

If you're looking for more than that, then you need "raw" sockets, a la libpcap.  The "regular" sockets api is at a higher level than network/transport protocol headers.
