If you have control over the high level UDP protocol,
make it a system that waits for a response before asking
again (you will need to reset this after some reasonable timeout).
That way a slow response on the network also slows down the demand
and the system is self-regulating to a degree. If lots of UDPs are
getting lost then there's a clot somewhere and hammering the system
with more UDPs isn't going to help.

Out of curiosity, what's it for?
