解决套接字tcp中创建的数据包时间的方法

Question

I am using socket TCP in C#.

Here is some code:

System.Net.Sockets.Socket clientSocket;

...

clientSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);

...
clientSocket.Receive( ...)

The clientSocket object receive data - There is a created packet on the server side, which decide when sending it.

Is there any way to retrieve the date+time the packet was sent and when it was created?

Also, is there any way to retrieve the date+time when using protocol such as REST?

Need some sample code, please.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

It depends on the protocol running over TCP that will determine whether you will be able to determine such date time information. You will need to interpret the block of bytes returned by Receive() as per the protocol you are interested in.

For example code see this tutorial: http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_network/sockets/article.php/c8781/Asynchronous-Socket-Programming-in-C-Part-II.htm

REST isnt a protocol. RESTful apis don't typically contain a date+time each message was sent unless someone has designed that into their API.
