note 50286 rejected from function.socket-listen by nicobn

Note Submitter: john at bhdnet dot com ---- One suggestion for the above example for working with UDP. The example uses the same socket to connect to a machine thus closing the listening socket and forcing the re-creation of a new UDP socket and wasting alot of processor time. Instead it would be better to follow the standard TCP/IP operation method whereby you have one socket listening and create new sockets to form active connections. So when the UDP socket is incoming create a new socket identical (bind to a different port number) and then connect. Of course, if you wanted bi-directional communication you should always use TCP/IP because it is more reliable and has methods of packet arrangement and recovery.
