Get destination addres for UDP in nodejs

Question

My server listens on the UDP port and also receives broadcast messages. Can I somehow detect that the received message was sent to my ip directly or to the broadcast address? rinfo just gives me the sender information

Answer 1

This is currently not possible.

Workaround:

• have different internal ports for broadcast and normal traffic.
• Use iptables to redirect broadcast traffic to one of the internal ports and the other to another port.
