I cannot seem to remember this from my networking days.
Say you have a programming that sends UDP packets out on the network from a machine (A) to another machine that receives them (B). Now obviously with UDP if the machine B (receiver) isn't there, for some reason, the packets will just get dropped.
Given this, if you don't care about the lost packets. If you bring the receiver up after the sender, and he starts to receive packets, will there be data offset problems (getting the middle of a packet vs the beginning). Or will you start with the beginning of a packet every time.
I cannot seem to remember if this is the case always, or if you would need to add something that would sync the data coming in.
Any help would be appreciated.
