There is a some chance that the functionality will be added to udpsend/ 
udpreceive.  I've been complaining about it for a long time...  there  
is no technical reason it can't be done.

Someone at CNMAT has a connection with Cycling that includes access to  
source code of some objects--this is one of them.  It is possible that  
it gets fixed and even merged into the mainstream max distribution.   
Even more likely if other OSC libraries and applications also start  
supporting bidirectional UDP (many still do not).

Also max comes with some fairly competent networking objects written  
in java--including the source code: net.udp.recv, net.udp.send.  What  
is needed is net.udp.recvfrom and net.udp.sendto.
