UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagram: Lua parsing library

UDP is a simple stateless transport layer (AKA OSI layer 4) protocol, one of the core Internet protocols. It provides source and destination ports, basic checksumming, but provides not guarantees of delivery, order of packets, or duplicate delivery.
