That's right. We have to bind to a port to allow clients[1] comunication.
For that we need to create a socket and bind to the port. Libcommoncpp do
this socket+bind. But when you are creating the socket, you have to say
the type. That is SOCK_DGRAM => UDP

     sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
     bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));
     serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
     serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
     serv_addr.sin_port = htons(9889);
     bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr);

[1] clients: A client is for example openMosixView. Not gomd.

right ?

Yes, to listen on a UDP port.
