There is some support as part of a SuperCollider wrapper: http://www.slavepianos.org/rd/sw/sw-69/Sound/OpenSoundControl/UDP.hs

Hello,

Something along the lines of an echo server would do.

Thanks

Try: -- -- UDPEchoServer.hs: Exactly what the name says, a datagram echo server. -- module Main (main) where import Network.Socket import System.Posix.Directory import System.Posix.Files import System.Posix.IO import System.Posix.Process import System.Exit echoPort = 9900 maxline = 1500 -- -- The daemon infrastructure -- main :: IO () main = do pid <- forkProcess child exitImmediately ExitSuccess child :: IO () child = do -- Set up the working directory, mask and standard i/o -- for a daemon process (these will be inherited by -- the forked process): changeWorkingDirectory "/" setFileCreationMask 0 mapM_ closeFd [stdInput, stdOutput, stdError] nullFd <- openFd "/dev/null" ReadWrite Nothing defaultFileFlags mapM_ (dupTo nullFd) [stdInput, stdOutput, stdError] closeFd nullFd createSession -- This child becomes a process and session -- group leader.

You may have to consult your documentation for the options to your version of nc (or netcat, if you use that instead). I was also able to see that the server returned packets using hping3. Needless to say, the above is just an example, and is by no means bulletproof. I think I adapted it from something I found on the old wiki and updated it to work with the current libraries.
