It will give information of Source address only.

actually I have one udp server in java at localhost and have some virtual interfaces on it.

now I send udp packet on this server at one virtual interface(say eth0:1). I received that packet but when extract information of source address only.

while i see tcpdump it will give information of source and destination.

that's why i am asking here if tcpdump get information of source and destination then java should have some api to get these information.

If you click on that link you are sure to see a few other methods that return other addresses. Try those first.

i tried it there are two methods for getting ip information - public SocketAddress getSocketAddress() and public InetAddress getAddress() - they give same address information.

actually i need three things - payload, source address and destination address (which is virtual interface in my case).

please forgive me for my bad english.
