SocketFlags Enumeration

public enum SocketFlags

Members

• None
  Specifies that no flags are set. This is the default behavior.
• OutOfBand
  Specifies that out-of-band data should be sent or received. Out-of-band data is high-priority data that bypasses normal queuing mechanisms.
• Peek
  Specifies that the data should be read without removing it from the input queue. After a Peek operation, the next receive operation will retrieve the same data.
• DontRoute
  Specifies that the routing table should not be used to determine the output interface or network. This flag is typically used by diagnostic tools or for specific network configurations.
• Broadcast
  Specifies that the data should be sent as a broadcast datagram. This flag is only valid for connectionless sockets that support broadcasting.
• Multicast
  Specifies that the data should be sent as a multicast datagram. This flag is only valid for connectionless sockets that support multicasting.
• Truncate
  Specifies that if the buffer is smaller than the incoming message, the message should be truncated to fit the buffer. The remaining data is discarded.
• CongestionControl
  Specifies that congestion control should be applied. This is a hint to the transport layer to manage traffic flow effectively.
• DontFragment
  Specifies that the datagram should not be fragmented by intermediate routers. If the datagram is too large to be transmitted without fragmentation, it will be discarded, and an error will be returned.
• ControlData
  Specifies that control data should be returned with the received data. This can include information like sender address, port, and TTL.
• SendLifeTime
  Specifies that the send operation should use the socket's configured send lifetime.
• ReceiveAll
  Specifies that all data available in the receive buffer should be retrieved, even if it exceeds the size of the provided buffer. The excess data is not discarded.
• ReceiveAllNotifications
  Specifies that all pending notifications for the socket should be returned.
