The components of this address are as follows:
■ The <IP hostname> is the destination client’s IP hostname.
■ The <UDPport num> is the destination UDP port number on which the client host
is awaiting data.
For example, the address of host=cordelia,udpport=40000 specifies that data
be delivered to host cordelia at UDP port 40000.
The server must have available a name service (or appropriate entries in local /etc/
hosts and /etc/ethers ) so that the client hostname can be resolved to the four-
byte IP address and the six-byte Ethernet address before data transmission begins.
7.6 Specifying Encapsulation
For all types of output links, you specify the encapsulation of the data for a
particular bit stream with the MSMC API ‘s
msmSetConnect() function. You fill in
an instance of the MsmConnect structure before calling msmSetConnect() . This
structure contains an encap field, which holds a string. This field determines the
encapsulation that the server uses to deliver data to the client. TABLE 7-1 lists the
strings used to specify different encapsulations.
