 *
 * UDP Client is really a UDP server
 *
 * Dedicated UDP sockets on the same
 * machine can not be bound to in the
 * traditional client/server method
 *
 * Every UDP socket is it's own UDP server
 * And so must have a unique port on its
 * machine, unlike TCP or Unix Sockts
 * which can share on the same machine.
 *
 * Since there is no open client server
 * relationship, you should start world
 * first and then hello.
