Using Java 6, on linux how can I make sure to use an ipv4 socket?
I'm trying to write a quick little java application to read the contents of a pcap file (from Wireshark) and play the data back on the network on a linux box. The file will only contain UDP broadcast packets, so my application only really needs the timestamp, port number, and data from the packet to do what I need. My problem is that the application that I'm trying to test with this code is listening for IPv4 UDP broadcasts on Windows. My test application keeps opening an IPv6 socket to send the data out.
I'm using netstat -a -u -p to determine that the socket is a udp6 socket. On windows I know it isn't.
What is the easiest or best way to force the test app on linux in java to open a udp or udp4 socket instead? I don't want to be forced in to providing the ipv4 network address each time. I want to be able to move this code to another machine without having to remember that their is some configuration that needs to be changed.

Answer 1
Add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to your Java application runtime properties.
Answered by: Catherine854 | Posted: 22-02-2022Answer 2
Also you can use this command (as root) and you will not need to add the -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true parameter in every java application:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only
If you want to keep this configuration forever you can write it in some initial script.

java socket / output stream writes : do they block?
If I am only WRITING to a socket on an output stream, will it ever block? Only reads can block, right? Someone told me writes can block but I only see a timeout feature for the read method of a socket - Socket.setSoTimeout().
It doesn't make sense to me that a write could block.
how to know a Java Socket is dead
I use a Java Socket object in my client application. I need to know when the line to the server is broken, or if any event caused the socket to be dead.
I see two methods:
catching SocketException when writing in or reading from the socket, considering these exceptions kill the socket
when catching these exceptions, checking the Socket.isClosed() method to know if it killed the socket

I am writing a general Client-Server socket program where the client sends commands to the Server, which executes it and sends the result to the Client.
