Forgive me if this has come up before but cocoa.mamasam.com was down so
I couldn't check the archives. My question is, "Is there a relatively
easy, straightforward way to work with UDP sockets from a Cocoa app as
an alternative to the good old MacTCP?"
There are four ways I can think of doing sockets in OS X, and it's up
to you to decide on which one you like best:
1. Use Carbon's Open Transport.
2. Use CoreFoundation's CFSocket.
3. Do your own low-level socket programming. I'd recommend reading "The
Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Sockets, C Version" by Michael J. Donahoo and
Kenneth L. Calvert (ISBN 1-55860-686-6).
4. Use an Objective-C socket framework, such as SmallSockets or
OmniNetworking.
