Is ther a way to tell where a UDP packet came from? I know UDP is connectionless and all that but does it have in the packect the IP address that sent it.

I have to use UDP in the Program I am making and I would like to send a confermation message to the sending work station that an operation has been done. I know TCP/IP would be better suited for this but I'm stuck with UDP.

I thought about Putting an Identifier in the sent string but I'm trying to keep it user friendly.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

If there was a way that you could obtain the RAW UDP data then yes.
Byte breakdown
 
Hmm I have no clue how to do that at this point. The byte breakdown is great information. Would you have any other information on how to get the raw data?

Thanks

No, I haven't worked with obtaining that but *someone* using these forums must know.
