Has there been any progress on UDP support in libevent? The last mention I can
find in the email list is from Dec 2010. It sounded like supporting unconnected
sockets was going to be difficult in 2.0.x - will any of the changes in 2.1.x
make this easier?
I'm not familiar enough with libevent t
UDP works fine in libevent. I have several UDP based applications that run
solely over UDP.
You might have to run edge triggered to support UDP. I know I had to move to
edge triggered, though I can't recall if that was for UDP, or for the OS I was
using, or a combination.

That's nontrivial.
The last time I looked, it appeared that the socket-backed
bufferevent code was almost exactly right for a UDP transition, but
that the underlying evbuffer objects didn't have a lot of

Actually I was looking for any UDP support - it doesn't have to necessarily use
bufferevents. I've figured out how to get UDP working with writing my own
socket in
... why would you want to use bufferevent for this?
You really want something like bufferevent, except:
* You want to attach source/destination IP:port info, as an option;
* You want to support scatter/gather IO as an option;
* You want to be able to have well defined boundaries - ie, "This is a
