I'm late to join this thread, but was curious so read a couple before
deleting.  What I bring up below may have been discussed before.

I'm not much of a network person, but I believe UDP packets are tossed
out with no error correction at all (like unproto X25 packet).  Having
lived in a packet loss environment for a long time (years) and running
IRLP, I can tell you that when a packet it lost, it is lost.  The
command, audio, whatever, will be lost and have to be repeated in order
to get it through.  As I said, this may have been discussed before and
I'm sorry for any repetition it brings.  It also causes pretty bad holes
in the audio if it is sent UDP.
