Detailed Description

A zero copy udp transport provides an efficient way to handle data. by avoiding the extra copy when recv() or send() is called on the socket. Rather, the zero copy transport gives the caller memory references. The caller informs the transport when it is finished with the reference.

On linux systems, the zero copy transport can use a kernel packet ring. If no platform specific solution is available, make returns a boost asio implementation that wraps the functionality around a standard send/recv calls.

make()

static sptr uhd::transport::udp_zero_copy::make ( const std::string &  addr, const std::string &  port, const zero_copy_xport_params &  default_buff_args, udp_zero_copy::buff_params &  buff_params_out, const device_addr_t &  hints = device_addr_t()  )

Make a new zero copy udp transport: This transport is for sending and receiving between this host and a single endpoint. The primary usage for this transport will be data transactions. The underlying implementation is fast and platform specific.

The address will be resolved, it can be a host name or ipv4. The port will be resolved, it can be a port type or number.

Parameters

	addr	a string representing the destination address
	port	a string representing the destination port
	default_buff_args	Default values for frame sizes and num frames
[out]	buff_params_out	Returns the actual buffer sizes
	hints	optional parameters to pass to the underlying transport
