It's been a while since I've used Java's DatagramSockets, Channels and the like, but I can still give you some help.
UDP doesn't block (It only blocks while it is transferring the data to the OS) This means if at any point the next hop/switch/machine cannot buffer the UDP packet it drops it. This can be desirable behaviour in some situations. But it is something you need to be aware of.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
