I get older, my typing seems to get worse. that should be "text"
type data.

Your "send" string is sent to the udp server, and a receive is
posted. If the server responds well (i.e. doesn't return a refused
error or timout), then the connection is assumed ok. If you have
a receive string, then the reponse is also tested against
that and logged as failed if it mismatches.

The easiest way to test UDP is with the echo server.

Is piranha REALLY reporting a version of 16-4? This should be 16-3.

UDP should work, provided piranha can handle sending something useful.
A future version will be able to handle binary data.

16-2 didn't have all the udp logic, so there was no hope that that
version was going to work.
