Re: How to listen to more a specific IP and specific ports

Those two options ( IP/port or any IP/port ) and additionally ( IP or any
IP/any port (0) ) are the only options of sockets ( that come from BSD (
Unix ) sockets ) you can use ,so you need 2 sockets to listen for two
different IP/ports

Dear all,
I am writing a network application that requires me to bind it to
specific network IP addresses and specific ports.

The normal binding resides in filling up the SOCKADDR_IN structure with
any
IP "INADDR_ANY" or a particular IP "192.168.1.148" and a single port as
follows:

SOCKADDR_IN tcpaddr;
int port = 1812;

tcpaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
tcpaddr.sin_port = htons(port); //Single port
tcpaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); //Any IP
or
tcpaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl("192.168.1.148"); //A particular IP

Also this can be achieved by filling up the ADDRINFO structure of the
hints
parameter of the address resolution function "getaddrinfo()" as follows:

ADDRINFO hints;
LPADDRINFO resultPtr = NULL;

memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE; //to determin any IP
hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
hints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;

getaddrinfo(NULL, "1812", &hints, &resultPtr);

The first argument of "getaddrinfo()" is NULL to determin that we are
willing to bind to any IP, and the second argument is a single port.

NOW: my question is how to listen to traffic coming through particular IPs
(i.e., "192.168.1.148" and "192.168.10.30") on the server machin and
particular ports 1812 and 1813 at the same time?

Do I need to bind my single socket handler to different SOCKADDR_IN
structures each has its own IP address and port no.. However, I find this
way
is not feasible because the particular IPs are not fixed. I mean sometime
I
need to listen to one or two or more particular IPs.

I would appreciate if you shed light on this matter.

Regards
Bassam
