The udp_send node
This node sets up an udp socket and sends data to a specified endpoint (host, port). Before sending, data-items will be converted to json format.
Note: Broadcast messages are not possible with this node.
Note: This node is a sink node and does not output any flow-data, therefore any node connected to this node will not get any data.
Example
|udp_send()
.host('127.0.0.1')
.port(5555)
Will send incoming data-items json-encoded to the specified endpoint.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default |

host( string ) |

port( integer ) |
port number |
