I couldn't figure out how to make a udp socket bound to a port of 
my choosing on the local machine, to use for listening for 
incoming connections.

I assume you meant "incoming datagrams" and not "incoming connections". import std.stdio, std.socket; void main() { bool ipv6; ushort port = 1000; Address bindAddress; if(ipv6) { bindAddress = new Internet6Address(Internet6Address.ADDR_ANY, port); } else { bindAddress = new InternetAddress(InternetAddress.ADDR_ANY, port); } Socket udpSocket = new Socket(bindAddress.addressFamily, SocketType.DGRAM, ProtocolType.UDP); udpSocket.bind(bindAddress); writefln("listening for udp datagrams on port %s", port); ubyte[3000] buffer; while(true) { Address from; auto length = udpSocket.receiveFrom(buffer, from); writefln("received %s byte datagram from %s", length, from); } }
