The only thing I will say about public APN's if you are not aware, is they
are OK for general internet browsing but not data transfer. Internet browsing
was what they were originally intended for. They are not good enough for a
line-of-business enterprise system. They are very unreliable.
This coupled with UDP, you are going to have a very unreliable system.

Are you talking about a public APN not private leased line? if so then this
is probebly correct, however a private line there should be no limitations.

This doesn't matter if you route back through the same outbound socket.

Thanks Chris
I'll check with tech support at the carrier.
I would assume that TCP should not be blocked so I will make the
system switchable for UDP/TCP depending on which network it is on.

filtered early on.

When I run it on the LAN is is a very ocassional loss of data (once
every thousand or so sends), but run over gprs I never get any data
going from the sever to the device.
It almost always works going from the device to the server. (Same
loss
as on the LAN)

The reason I wanted to use UDP is it is a lot lighter and I am
not
too
worried about loosing the odd message.
With it being a lighter weight protocol it should consume much
less
data over gprs

with TCP over UDP is the performance.

Hi can anyone help
I have written a test app that sends information from a
PC /
Smartphone running on the vodafone (UK) network to a server
via
UDP.
This seems to work ok, but when I try sending the information
back
again it never recieves it.
The first message to the server contains the current IP of
the
device
so I know the IP of the return message is to the correct IP.
I have a previous prototype working over the lan between 2
PCs
and
even between a LAN pc and one on the internet.
Is this vodafone blocking incomming traffic or do I need to
take
something else into consideration?
Thanks in advance
Craig
PS I want this to work via an O2 XDA at some point in the
near
future
as well, but am quite willing to make allowances for each
network
being different.- Hide quoted text -

I have had some feedback from my 02 technical contact and he has given
me a document with a list of ports and protocols supported, nothing
back from vodafone yet- Hide quoted text -

for the moment We are using a public apn, but are planning to put our
own private one in late this year.
