Hi friends,

From a (windows os) souce IP : 192.168.10.10 a unicasted udp message is coming to
(rhel Linux OS) destination IP : 192.168.10.40, dest port : 2000
Line : addr, data = recvfrom(recv_sock)

I have written a Julia program below to broadcast this message (coming to 192.168.10.40, dest port : 2000)
Julia program is running on rhel Linux OS.

My intention is to make two other programs (running on rhel linux os) to receive the udp packets
unicasted to IP : 192.168.10.40, dest port : 2000.
send(send_sock, IPv4(DEST_IP_2), DEST_PORT_2, data,reuseaddr = true)

Giving error : Forward failed: MethodError(Core.kwcall, ((reuseaddr = true,), Sockets.send, UDPSocket(init), ip"192.168.10.255", 11000,
on line : println(“✗ Forward failed: $forward_error”)

The program is given below

#!/usr/bin/env julia

using Sockets
using Dates
