Thanks for the update! :-)
Local UDP receive doesn't look acceptable yet, but we'll see how this 
one changes once we found and fixed the scheduler issue -- audio with 
little latencies isn't really possible on Haiku right now, but 
shouldn't really be the case with real time threads.

We have a student working on ICMP (Yin Qiu, allenchue@xxxxxxxxx) -- 
please make sure you won't interfere with each other too much. You 
could also join the student GSoC list to make the related discussions 
public to those who are interested in it.

Bye,
