‘acceptor’ is not a member of ‘boost::asio::ip::udp’ while migration from tcp to udp

Question

I have tcp socket. Here is how it was looks on one side:

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

tcp::socket socket(service);
tcp::acceptor acceptor(service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), port));
acceptor.accept(socket_);

// send something
socket.write_some(boost::asio::buffer(&(*sbBuf.begin()), len)); 

And on another side:

using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

tcp::socket socket(service);
tcp::resolver resolver(service);
tcp::resolver::query query2(udp::v4(), host, portStr);
tcp::resolver::iterator iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
boost::asio::connect(socket , iterator);
//receive something
size_t len = socket.receive(boost::asio::buffer((void *)&(*(v.begin())), DEFAULT_BUFLEN));

Now I need to change tcp to udp . I change all boost::asio::ip::tcp:: prefix to boost::asio::ip::udp:: . I use send instead of write_some .

Now I stuck with next error 'acceptor' is not a member of 'boost::asio::ip::udp'

I tried to found some examples but I can't find good one to understand what I can use instead of acceptor

Answer 1

There is nothing such as an acceptor for UDP, read about the difference between UDP and TCP connection. Or/and see UDP communication using c++ boost asio

Also here is an nice summary
