[v10.x backport] dgram: add support for UDP connected sockets by GaryGSC · Pull Request #30480 · nodejs/node (original) (raw)

Added the dgram.connect() and dgram.disconnect() methods that
associate/disassociate a udp socket to/from a remote address.
It optimizes for cases where lots of packets are sent to the same
address.
Also added the dgram.remoteAddress() method to retrieve the associated
remote address.

As an aside, this is only a backport of #26871. That PR had a backport-requested-v10.x label. Does this backport even make sense without the semver-major #21745? I don't know enough about UDP. @nodejs/dgram
