There's also a maximum UDP packet size that you may be running into. Some
implementations of UDP will tell you (return an error) if you try to send a
packet that's too big. Others will silently through the offending packet
away.
It's generally best to send small packets with UDP, typically smaller than
1024 bytes. As Alan says, there's still no guarantee of delivery nor is
there any guarantee of delivery order.
Cheers,
Bruce.
