Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64

What did you do?

Server side:

ServerAddr,err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp",":11110")
ServerConn, err := net.ListenUDP("udp", ServerAddr)
n,addr,err := ServerConn.ReadFromUDP(buf)
fmt.Println("Received ",string(buf[0:n]), " from ",addr, " to ", ServerConn.LocalAddr())

Client side:

ServerAddr1,err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", "10.16.83.185:11110")
Conn1, err := net.DialUDP("udp", nil, ServerAddr1)
_,err := Conn1.Write(buf)

ServerAddr2,err := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", "127.0.0.1:11110")
Conn2, err := net.DialUDP("udp", nil, ServerAddr2)
_,err := Conn2.Write(buf)

What did you expect to see?

Received  1  from  10.16.83.185:51386  to  10.16.83.185:11110
Received  1  from  127.0.0.1:58306  to  127.0.0.1:11110

What did you see instead?

Received  1  from  10.16.83.185:51386  to  0.0.0.0:11110
Received  1  from  127.0.0.1:58306  to  0.0.0.0:11110

So what shoud i do to get the "expect" result? Thanks.

@woniuxu,

The LocalAddr method of UDPConn returns an address requested to the protocol stack inside the kernel that represents what traffic you want to receive. It's part of the convention how to represent an identifier that allows us to receive traffic on all available unicast and anycast IP addresses of the local system, and not Go standard library-specific (well, I guess it was born at and came from Berkeley.) The net package documentation tries to describe the convention a bit; please take a look at https://godoc.org/net#ListenUDP and https://godoc.org/net#ListenPacket.

If you think we can do more better on the documentation, feel free to open a new issue for documentation improvement. In general, network-layer identifiers must be opaque to application-layer users. I'm still not sure the reason why application-layer people want to know the hidden structure on the identifiers without knowing the architecture and design limitations on functional planes that need the identifiers.

"The LocalAddr method of UDPConn returns an address requested to the protocol stack inside the kernel that represents what traffic you want to receive."

That makes sense for LocalAddr method of UDPConn.

" It's part of the convention how to represent an identifier that allows us to receive traffic on all available unicast and anycast IP addresses of the local system, and not Go standard library-specific (well, I guess it was born at and came from Berkeley.) The net package documentation tries to describe the convention a bit; please take a look at https://godoc.org/net#ListenUDP and https://godoc.org/net#ListenPacket."

Yes, it's a convention to use "0.0.0.0:port" or ":port" format for receiving traffic on all available ip address. But with C++, though bind m_iSock with address like ":port" or "0.0.0.0:port", I can get the server's "real" localAddr which is the client's remote address by "::getsockname(m_iSock, addr, &addr_len)".

So, regardless of UDPConn. How can i get the server's "real" localAddr while i want to recevie udp traffic on all available unicast and anycast IP addresses of the local system with golang? Thanks.

@woniuxu,

Please use other forums: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Questions.

In general, if your running kernels or libraries in other languages provide something useful for you, it's easy to recreate in your own packages. I can guess that the word "real" you are saying means that something per-packet information because you are using "connection-less or stateless" datagram-based transport protocols such as UDP. Well, it's better to ask your question in more appropriate forums.

@mikioh

Yes, in the example i mentioned, "real" address means :
"Received 1 from 10.16.83.185:51386 to 10.16.83.185:11110
Received 1 from 127.0.0.1:58306 to 127.0.0.1:11110".
Not
"Received 1 from 10.16.83.185:51386 to 0.0.0.0:11110
Received 1 from 127.0.0.1:58306 to 0.0.0.0:11110"

I'll refer to the forums for some guides. Thank you.
