Is bind() mandatory for a stream TCP connection?

[lucky06200]

Hello,

I send a TCP frame with :

1. socket()
2. connect()
3. send()
4. shutdown()

Is this path OK, or is it needed to add a bind() between socket and connect ?

Thank you for attention.

Hi,

Yes you need add a bind() before connect to assign the port number, address and protocol  the socket use , so that the socket could receive the other end's reply.
