How much host-side programming are you thinking of doing?
I gave up writing lower level code a year or so ago, and
bit-the-bullet and starting using ACE

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html

Its a set of C++ classes and 'frameworks' (templatized
application components, like servers and client
connection steps) that operate across Linux, Solaris,
Windows, VxWorks, RTEMs, etc.

There are three books on the subject;

   C++ Network Programming Volume 1
   C++ Network Programming Volume 2
   The ACE Programmers Guide

If you think you might be interested in using this, feel free
to ask me questions.

I personally have not used UDP for comms, I use TCP. So don't have
any specific comments there. However, the ACE classes are all
setup with timeouts and connection control logic.

Cheers
Dave
