How To Create Multi-Chat UDP

TCP requires a connection as you may know, but UDP requires no connection at all, you send your data right out. UDP packets may be lost or arrive in an odd order since they don't have the checking that is associated with TCP.If you are using a winsock-like object, just make sure to bind to a local port, then send or listen for data, no need to .connect("bleh.com",80) or anything.
