Hi.
I have an idea I want to ask about.
Let's say we have a network with a couple of computers attached to
it. One of the computers is running an application that we want to
remotely control from the other computers, but we don't know which
computer that we want to control. All we know is that they are on the
same network.
My idea is that the application will listen to all data transmitted
on the network, maybe only on a specific port. If we want to give the
application a command, we will broadcast a packet onto the network
with a specific data sequence that the application will recognize.
Depending on what message the packet contained, the application will
do a specific task.
Do you have any suggestions about how I might do this? Is it possible
to use Cocoa and what classes do you think would be in interest?
Marcus
