You do realize that UDP is the User Datagram
Protocol and has no Control mechanisms.
You _cannot_ guarantee that packets will
arrive in the right order, if at all.

In all my tests however on local machines
and across machines in a LAN, I don't
loose packets. I do recommend you use
circuits (or twisted).
