//
// UDP protocol interface.
//
// The UDP protocol header is represented by the class ~UdpHeader.
//
// <b>Communication with clients (applications)</b>
//
// The module can (should) be connected to several applications.
// For sending an Udp packet, the application should attach an ~UdpControlInfo
// object to the payload, and send it to ~Udp.
// ~Udp will also attach an ~UdpControlInfo object to any payload
// message in sends up to the application.
//
// For receiving UDP packets, the connected applications should first
// "bind" to the given UDP port. This can be done by sending an
// arbitrary message with message kind UDP_C_BIND and an ~UdpControlInfo
// attached with srcPort filled in.
//
// If there is only one app which doesn't bind to any port, it will
// receive all packets.
//
// <b>Communication with the IPv4 (IPv4/IPv6) layer</b>
//
// The ~Udp model relies on sending and receiving ~L3AddressReq/~L3AddressInd
// objects attached to packets.
//
// @see ~Udp, ~UdpHeader, ~UdpControlInfo, ~UdpCommandCode
