Using the same network spread is running on:

Send:

./s -a 192.168.101.127 -t 2 -s 1000 -b 50 -n 100000
[.....]
total time is (20,466537), with 0 problems

Receive:
./r
Ready to receive on port 4444
-------
Report: total packets 100000, total missed 16, total corrupted 0

It's no udp problem i guess. I will take a closer look on
mod_log_spread.

Cheers,
Dirk
