    This example shows how to set up an echo UDP server.

    Start the echoserver using the echoudp function on port 4012. Create a udpport instance to communicate with the echo server.

    echoudp("on",4012)
u = udpport
    u = 
  UDPPort with properties:

     IPAddressVersion: "IPV4"
            LocalHost: "0.0.0.0"
            LocalPort: 58379
    NumBytesAvailable: 0

  Show all properties, functions

    Write data using the write function to the echo server running on port 4012.

    write(u,1:10,"uint8","127.0.0.1",4012);

    The echo server sends back the data written to it. Read this data back using the read function.

    data = read(u,10)
    data = 1×10

     1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9    10
