Account for Packet Loss in One-Off Mode #54

Right now if you use NetAssociation in one-off mode, and the UDP packet gets lost and never arrives... the delegate method would never be called.

Maybe there should be some timeout, and success/failure reporting?

Block-based would also be heavenly :)

Dilemma! While it would be nice to report the lack of response, it's not a "failure" for UDP packets to get lost. Should a check for a response be inside NetAssociation or should it be in the code that's using it? I think it should be inside NetAssociation .. I'd be happy to accept any enhancements.

Block based would be nice, I agree.

I've not looked for recent changes in the UDP parts of the IP library I use .. maybe they've made improvements .. things are changing in Apple's TCP stack, I don't know if UDP is getting the same attention.
