how to bind raw socket to specific interface

const char *opt; opt = “eth0”; const len = strnlen(opt, IFNAMSIZ); if (len == IFNAMSIZ) { fprintf(stderr, “Too long iface name”); return 1; } setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, opt, len); First line: set up your variable Second line: tell the program which interface to bind to Lines 3-5: get length of interface name and check if … Read more

Edit: I was referring to http://www.ntp.org/, not the one that comes with Windows. I don’t have any suggestion as to what NTP clients are best for windows, but for Unix machines … Read more

Does sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; need htonl at all?

Since other constants like INADDR_LOOPBACK are in host byte order, I submit that all the constants in this family should have htonl applied to them, including INADDR_ANY. (Note: I wrote this answer while @Mat was editing; his answer now also says it’s better to be consistent and always use htonl.) Rationale It is a hazard … Read more

To get a fully qualified name for a machine, we must first get the local hostname, and then lookup the canonical name. The easiest way to do this is by first getting the local hostname using uname() or gethostname() and then performing a lookup with gethostbyname() and looking at the h_name member of the struct … Read more
