Sorry this has kind of gone on the back burner as there seems to be more demand for other things. I am still working on it though.

I am not keen on a UDP version as it is an unreliable transport protocol compared to TCP. The problem is that any remote would need to be reliable and you can not get this with UDP. A better way to give you the functionality of controlling many instances would be to setup TCP connections with them all. You could then be sure that every command got through and was not lost on the way. If I was writting a streaming application which could cope with packet losses then UDP would be great but I feel TCP is better in these circumstances.

I am working on extending the functionality of the TCP version.
