<h5>Description</h5>
<p>UDT is connection oriented, for both of its SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM mode. <strong>connect</strong> must be called in order to set up a UDT connection. The <i>name</i> parameter is
the address of the server or the peer side. In regular (default) client/server mode, the server side must has called <strong>bind</strong> and <strong>listen</strong>. In rendezvous mode,
both sides must call <strong>bind</strong> and connect to each other at (approximately) the same time. Rendezvous <strong>connect</strong> may not be used for more than one connections on the same UDP port pair, in which case UDT_REUSEADDR may be set to false. </p>
<p>UDT <strong>connect</strong> takes at least one round trip to finish. This may become a bottleneck if applications frequently connect and disconnect to the same address.</p>
<p>When UDT_RCVSYN is set to false, the <strong>connect</strong> call will return immediately and perform the actual connection setup at background. Applications may use epoll to wait for the connect to complete.</p>
<p>When <strong>connect</strong> fails, the UDT socket can still be used to connect again. However, if the socket was not bound before, it may be bound implicitly, as mentioned above, even
if the <strong>connect</strong> fails. In addition, in the situation when the <strong>connect</strong> call fails, the UDT socket will not be automatically released, it is the applications' responsibility to <strong>close</strong> the socket, if the socket is not needed anymore (e.g., to re-connect).</p>
