node-ipc/example/UDPSocket/basic/hello-client.js

A nodejs module for local and remote Inter Process Communication (IPC), Neural Networking, and able to facilitate machine learning.

var ipc=require('../../../node-ipc');

/***************************************\
 * 
 * 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.
 *
