DatagramSocket类
DatagramSocket类在客户端创建自寻址套接字与服务器端进行通信连接,并发送和接受自寻址套接字。虽然有多个构造函数可供选择,但我发现创建客户端自寻址套接字最便利的选择是DatagramSocket()函数,而服务器端则是DatagramSocket(int port)函数,假如未能创建自寻址套接字或绑定自寻址套接字到本地端口,那么这两个函数都将抛出一个SocketException对象,一旦程序创建了DatagramSocket对象,那么程序分别调用send(DatagramPacket dgp)和 receive(DatagramPacket dgp)来发送和接收自寻址数据包,
List4显示的DGSClient源代码示范了如何创建自寻址套接字以及如何通过套接字处理发送和接收信息

// to hold the server program's response, the IP address of
// the server program's computer, and port number 10000.
