Tried to get a UDP node in there, but packet size is too big, and I’m lost as always with how to make it work

might be better to use the higher level networking library like NetMQ for this, in 2019 you shouldn’t have to deal with raw sockets anymore:

VL.IO.NetMQ

Here we’re getting started to support ZeroMQ (via NetMQ) for vl. For now this has the Publisher/Subscriber and XPublisher/XSubscriber (via a proxy) patterns implemented. Note that, in order to get this running, you’ll need to build the visualstudio sln once! update 28 07 19: now available as nuget, installable via commandline. see github link for howto.
