ex_udp_echo.c

This example program shows how to send and receive UDP datagrams. This program acts as the server, and listens for any data entering on UDP port 54123. If a UDP message is received, we read it and return data to the same socket (IP and port) that just sent us data. It implements a circular buffer for storing the received data.

//Get and Put pointer for udpRxBuf circular buffer. If Get pointer = Put
//pointer, the buffer is empty.

    //we don't know them for the node that will send us an UDP message. The first
    //time a message is received addressed to this port, the remote IP and MAC
    //addresses are automatically updated with the addresses of the remote node.

    //Configure for local port 54123 and remote port INVALID_UDP_PORT. This
    //opens the socket to listed on the given port.
