Using memset function in UDP socket - sockets

I have a UDP socket which my client sends an array of integers to the server and the server receives it and store it as a variables. This is happening in an infinite loop. I didn't use any memset function for the buffering in the server side.
I checked the results on the sever side and everything is being received correctly.
I was wondering if its necessary to use memset at each iteration where I have the recvfrom() function...
Servercode:
#define BUFSIZE 10
#define SERVERPORT "9090"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct sockaddr_in serveraddr4; /* server's addr */
struct sockaddr_in clientaddr4; /* client addr */
struct hostent *hostp4; /* client host info */
int sockfd4; /* socket */
int portno4; /* port to listen on */
socklen_t clientlen4;
char *hostaddrp4; /* dotted decimal host addr string */
int optval4; /* flag value for setsockopt */
int n4; /* message byte size */
sockfd4 = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
portno4 = atoi("8080");
optval4 = 1;
setsockopt(sockfd4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,(const void *)&optval4 , sizeof(int));
bzero((char *) &serveraddr4, sizeof(serveraddr4));
serveraddr4.sin_family = AF_INET;
serveraddr4.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
serveraddr4.sin_port = htons((unsigned short)portno4);
int b4=bind(sockfd4, (struct sockaddr *) &serveraddr4, sizeof(serveraddr4));
clientlen4 = sizeof(clientaddr4);
int buf4[BUFSIZE];
int A;
int B;
int buf4[BUFSIZE];
while(1)
{
int n4 = recvfrom(sockfd4, buf4, BUFSIZE, 0,(struct sockaddr *) &clientaddr4, &clientlen4);
A=buf4[0];B=buf4[1];
cout<<A<<" "<<B<<endl;
}
}

Socket programming error, "Socket operation on non-socket"

This question has been asked many times, but searching through and implementing some solutions that have worked for others, I still haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am still having issues understanding programming with sockets, so any explanations would be greatly appreciated. The function where I am getting the error is "int forwardClientReq(char* buffer, char* hostname, int clientfd)" and more specifically around this:
numBytesSent = send(serverfd, buffer, strlen(buffer), 0);
if(numBytesSent == -1)

The return value of connect is an error code not a socket fd:
If the connection or binding succeeds, zero is returned. On error,
-1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
So
numBytesSent = send(serverfd, buffer, strlen(buffer), 0);
Should be
numBytesSent = send(serverSock, buffer, strlen(buffer), 0);

IOCTL returns No such device

I have written a code to create and set the properties of VLAN interface. I am able to set the IP address, however the I am facing problem in setting the gateway address and reading the device flags. Please have a look at code and suggest what could be wrong.

Many problems here. The proximate cause of your difficulty is that the second argument to ioctl is a long integer, not a pointer to a character string.
generic_ioctrlcall(sockfd, (u_long *)"SIOCGIFFLAGS", &ifr);
does not create a pointer to the integer value of SIOCGIFFLAGS which is presumably what you intended. Other issues:
(1) Since ioctl takes a long integer as the second argument, why did you want to pass a pointer to an integer? Just pass the integer as argument.
(2) If you do wish to pass a pointer to an integer, you would need to do something like this:
u_long ioctl_arg = SIOCGIFFLAGS;
generic_ioctrlcall(sockfd, &ioctl_arg, &ifr);
(3) You cannot convert a pointed-to integer to an integer simply by casting it. You need to dereference the pointer. That is:
Change:
if (ioctl(sockfd, (long unsigned int)flags, &ifr) < 0) {
to:
if (ioctl(sockfd, *flags, &ifr) < 0) {
(4) on an ioctl failure, you should be printing out errno (or, better yet, its text translation) after the failure in order to figure out what went wrong:
if (ioctl(sockfd, *flags, &ifr) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "ioctl: flags %ld errno %d/%s\n", *flags, errno, strerror(errno));
And by the way, it seems unlikely that the errno from any of your generic_ioctl calls would be ENODEV (No such device) -- as your title implies. It seems much more likely that the errno would be EINVAL since the chances of your pointer-to-character-string forming a valid ioctl integer argument are very slim.

C socket bind slows down when i switch source ip addresses

I have a C script that connects to a remote server with a socket and writes a command.
I have to do this as fast as possible and i need to switch from source ip addressess. The problem is, when i switch from ip addresses, the bind slows down for seconds.
I can not find a solution.

#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>

printf("Failed to create socket\n");
/*set the socket options*/
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char *)&tv, sizeof(struct timeval));
if(inet_pton(AF_INET, ips[i%3], &source.sin_addr)<=0) //this is where is switch the ip addresses
{

return 1;
}
/*bind socket to the source WHERE THE PACKET IS COMING FROM*/

if(inet_pton(AF_INET, "94.198.154.139", &destination.sin_addr)<=0)
{
printf("\n inet_pton error occured\n");
return 1;
}
if(connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&destination, sizeof(destination)) < 0)
{
printf("\n Error : Connect Failed \n");
return 1;
}
printf("check\n");
n = write(sock,"is liveresults.nl\r\n",21);
if (n < 0) error("ERROR writing to socket");
while ( (n = read(sock, recv_buffer, sizeof(recv_buffer)-1)) > 0)
{
recv_buffer[n] = 0;
if(fputs(recv_buffer, stdout) == EOF)
{
printf("\n Error : Fputs error\n");
}
}
if(n < 0)
{
printf("\n Read error \n");
}
close(sock);
}
return 0;
}
edit: i must notice that it slows down afther the first loops for every ip. Because i have 3 ip addresses. After the first round, it slow down for seconds per bind.
I have to bind the local port to 0 instead of the same port as the outgoing port.

handling multiple clients using select

As i already asked similar questions but didn't get a solution. Hence i put this problem again with the whole code. Please tell me how can i acheive this goal
1) i have a client which sends to mainserver (127.0.0.1) a message and main server forwards it to server2 (127.0.0.2)
2) Server2 sends a message to the mainserver and mainserver forwards it to client.
Problem 1) : Although i receive the datas from client but they are not sent to server2.
Problem 2) :I dont receive any data from server2

Please suggest me with code samples. i am new to this topic and didn't have a broad view yet.

Socket programming connect error

I received the error: `connect failed: connection refused` from the following code. Server side code runs fine, but when I run the client side I get the connect failed error. I am using Ubuntu.
server side run: `./server.out 1234`
client side run: `.client.out 127.0.0.1 input.txt 1234`

HandleTCPclient received command from client like input.txt and check that file and send back to the client but i got segmentation fault(core dumped). here input.txt contain just one text file

Your code is not using your supplied port, but it trying to connect to 7, you may not have a echo server running. Try changing to
in_port_t servPort = (argc ==4) ? atoi(argv[3]) : 7;
