linux - UDP-Broadcast on all interfaces -


on linux system wired , wireless interface (e.g. 192.168.1.x , 192.168.2.x subnets) want send udp broadcast goes out via available interfaces (i.e. both through wired , wireless interface).

currently sendto() inaddr_broadcast, seems broadcast sent through 1 of interfaces (not same , subsequent broadcasts may use other interface).

is there way can send udp broadcast goes out through every single interface?

first of all, should consider broadcast obsolete, specially inaddr_broadcast (255.255.255.255). question highlights 1 of reasons broadcast unsuitable. should die along ipv4 (hopefully). note ipv6 doesn't have concept of broadcast (multicast used, instead).

inaddr_broadcast limited local link. nowadays, it's visible use dhcp auto-configuration, since @ such time, client not know yet in network connected to.

with single sendto(), single packet generated, , outgoing interface determined operating system's routing table (ip route on linux). can't have single sendto() generate more 1 packet, have iterate on interfaces, , either use raw sockets or bind socket device using setsockopt(..., sol_socket, so_bindtodevice, "ethx") send each packet bypassing os routing table (this requires root privileges). not solution.

instead, since inaddr_broadcast not routed anyway, can achieve same thing iterating on each interface, , sending packet broadcast address. example, assuming networks have 255.255.255.0 (/24) masks, broadcast addresses 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.2.255. call sendto() once each of these addresses , have accomplished goal.

edit: fixed information regarding inaddr_broadcast, , complementing answer information so_bindtodevice.

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
