[OSC_dev] bidirectional udp, was: Re: oscit registration complete !

[Martin Peach]

I'm already using a "/replyto" to specify the port to reply to so that 
several identical receivers can be attached to the same sender and their 
replies don't get mixed up. In my implementation (which works with both 
Max/MSP and PureData) a device broadcasts an "/awake" message with its 
IP as payload until the sender sends it a "/replyto".
