//
// Sends UDP packets to the given IP address at the given interval.
// Compatible with both ~IPv4 and ~IPv6.
//
// The sending interval (sendInterval parameter) can be a constant or a random
// value (e.g. exponential(1)). An alternative way of specifying traffic is 
// the sendScript parameter. If a script is given, it takes pririty over sendInterval.
// The script format is "<time> <numBytes>;<time> <numBytes>;..."
//
// If the destAddresses parameter contains more than one address, one
// of them is randomly chosen for each packet. An address may be given in the
// dotted decimal notation, or with the module name. (The L3AddressResolver
// class is used to resolve the address.) To disable the model, set
// destAddresses to "".
//
// Received packets are discarded.
//
// The peer can be a ~UDPSink, another ~UDPBasicApp (it handles received packets
// like ~UDPSink), or a ~UDPEchoApp. When used with ~UDPEchoApp, the rcvdPkLifetime
// statistic will contain the round-trip times.
