It is suitable for use with DTLSv1.

Because BIO_s_datagram() has datagram semantics, a single BIO_write() call sends a single datagram and a single BIO_read() call receives a single datagram. If the size of the buffer passed to BIO_read() is inadequate, the datagram is silently truncated.

When using BIO_s_datagram(), it is important to note that:

This \s-1BIO\s0 can be used with either a connected or unconnected network socket. A connected socket is a network socket which has had BIO_connect\|(3) or a similar OS-specific function called on it. Such a socket can only receive datagrams from the specified peer. Any other socket is an unconnected socket and can receive datagrams from any host. Despite their naming, neither BIO_ctrl_dgram_connect() nor BIO_ctrl_set_connected() cause a socket to become connected. These controls are provided to indicate to the \s-1BIO\s0 how the underlying socket is configured and how it is to be used; see below. Use of BIO_s_datagram() with an unconnected network socket is hazardous hecause any successful call to BIO_read() results in the peer address used for any subsequent call to BIO_write() being set to the source address of the datagram received by that call to BIO_read(). Thus, unless the caller calls \fBBIO_dgram_set_peer() immediately prior to every call to BIO_write(), or never calls BIO_read(), any host on the network may cause future datagrams written to be redirected to that host. Therefore, it is recommended that users use \fBBIO_s_dgram() only with a connected socket. An exception is where \fBDTLSv1_listen\|(3) must be used; see DTLSv1_listen\|(3) for further discussion.

Various controls are available for configuring the BIO_s_datagram() using \fBBIO_ctrl\|(3):

Item "BIO_ctrl_dgram_connect (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_CONNECT)" This is equivalent to calling BIO_dgram_set_peer\|(3). .Sp Despite its name, this function does not cause the underlying socket to become connected. Item "BIO_ctrl_set_connected (BIO_CTRL_SET_CONNECTED)" This informs the BIO_s_datagram() whether the underlying socket has been connected, and therefore how the BIO_s_datagram() should attempt to use the socket. .Sp If the peer argument is non-NULL, BIO_s_datagram() assumes that the underlying socket has been connected and will attempt to use the socket using \s-1OS\s0 APIs which do not specify peer addresses (for example, send\|(3) and recv\|(3) or similar). The peer argument should specify the peer address to which the socket is connected. .Sp If the peer argument is \s-1NULL,\s0 BIO_s_datagram() assumes that the underlying socket is not connected and will attempt to use the socket using an \s-1OS\s0 APIs which specify peer addresses (for example, sendto\|(3) and recvfrom\|(3)). Item "BIO_dgram_get_peer (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_PEER)" This outputs a \s-1BIO_ADDR\s0 which specifies one of the following values, whichever happened most recently: Item "BIO_dgram_set_peer (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_PEER)" Sets the peer address to be used for subsequent writes to this \s-1BIO.\s0 .Sp Warning: When used with an unconnected network socket, the value set may be modified by future calls to BIO_read\|(3), making use of BIO_s_datagram() hazardous when used with unconnected network sockets; see above. Item "BIO_dgram_recv_timeout (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_RECV_TIMER_EXP)" Returns 1 if the last I/O operation performed on the \s-1BIO\s0 (for example, via a call to BIO_read\|(3)) may have been caused by a receive timeout. Item "BIO_dgram_send_timedout (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_SEND_TIMER_EXP)" Returns 1 if the last I/O operation performed on the \s-1BIO\s0 (for example, via a call to BIO_write\|(3)) may have been caused by a send timeout. Item "BIO_dgram_get_mtu_overhead (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_MTU_OVERHEAD)" Returns a quantity in bytes which is a rough estimate of the number of bytes of overhead which should typically be added to a datagram payload size in order to estimate the final size of the Layer 3 (e.g. \s-1IP\s0) packet which will contain the datagram. In most cases, the maximum datagram payload size which can be transmitted can be determined by determining the link \s-1MTU\s0 in bytes and subtracting the value returned by this call. .Sp The value returned by this call depends on the network layer protocol being used. .Sp The value returned is not fully reliable because datagram overheads can be higher in atypical network configurations, for example where IPv6 extension headers or IPv4 options are used. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_DONT_FRAG" If num is nonzero, configures the underlying network socket to enable Don't Fragment mode, in which datagrams will be set with the \s-1IP\s0 Don't Fragment (\s-1DF\s0) bit set. If num is zero, Don't Fragment mode is disabled. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_QUERY_MTU" Queries the \s-1OS\s0 for its assessment of the Path \s-1MTU\s0 for the destination to which the underlying network socket, and returns that Path \s-1MTU\s0 in bytes. This control can only be used with a connected socket. .Sp This is not supported on all platforms and depends on \s-1OS\s0 support being available. Returns 0 on failure. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_MTU_DISCOVER" This control requests that Path \s-1MTU\s0 discovery be enabled on the underlying network socket. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_FALLBACK_MTU" Returns the estimated minimum size of datagram payload which should always be supported on the \s-1BIO.\s0 This size is determined by the minimum \s-1MTU\s0 required to be supported by the applicable underlying network layer. Use of datagrams of this size may lead to suboptimal performance, but should be routable in all circumstances. The value returned is the datagram payload size in bytes and does not include the size of layer 3 or layer 4 protocol headers. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_MTU_EXCEEDED" Returns 1 if the last attempted write to the \s-1BIO\s0 failed due to the size of the attempted write exceeding the applicable \s-1MTU.\s0 Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_NEXT_TIMEOUT" Accepts a pointer to a struct timeval. If the time specified is zero, disables receive timeouts. Otherwise, configures the specified time interval as the receive timeout for the socket for the purposes of future BIO_read\|(3) calls. Item "BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_PEEK_MODE" If num is nonzero, enables peek mode; otherwise, disables peek mode. Where peek mode is enabled, calls to BIO_read\|(3) read datagrams from the underlying network socket in peek mode, meaning that a future call to BIO_read\|(3) will yield the same datagram until peek mode is disabled.

\fBBIO_new_dgram() is a helper function which instantiates a BIO_s_datagram() and sets the \s-1BIO\s0 to use the socket given in fd by calling BIO_set_fd().

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_s_datagram() returns a \s-1BIO\s0 method.

\fBBIO_new_dgram() returns a \s-1BIO\s0 on success and \s-1NULL\s0 on failure.

\fBBIO_ctrl_dgram_connect(), BIO_ctrl_set_connected(), \fBBIO_dgram_get_peer(), BIO_dgram_set_peer() return 1 on success and 0 on failure.

\fBBIO_dgram_recv_timedout() and BIO_dgram_send_timedout() return 0 or 1 depending on the circumstance; see discussion above.

\fBBIO_dgram_get_mtu_overhead() returns a value in bytes.
