Again, this does not work. The socket on the client side will only
accept packets originating from the port it has sent packets to, but
[udpsend] on the server cannot use this port as bind port, because it
is already occupied by [udpreceive]. To put this into telephone
analogy: When you call someone, you expect a third party to be
prohibited from shouting into your call, and you expect to hear only
the party you called.

The only solution to this is to use the same socket for both sending
and receiving, as Christof already suggested.
