   I assume "sending machine" refers to "another machine from which i   
   send upd messages and receive answers"?  (It's often a good idea to   
   name the machines in questions like this one, e.g. A, B and C.)

   It depends on how Foo is documented to work, doesn't it?   
      
   And on what "received" means.  In the general case, an UDP socket (at   
   least an one you haven't called connect() on) will swallow datagrams   
   from any source. Surely that's the case on both OSes.
