Adobe - Please add support for DatagramSocket (UDP) on mobile devices!

Why is DatagramSocket not supported on mobile devices?

I'm currently working on a project that will not work without UDP.

TCP as a connection-oriented protocol is not an option for me in this particular case.

Please add it in the next releases of AIR.

Thanks.

You might want to check out the following native extension: http://blog.aboutme.be/2011/12/14/udp-native-extension-for-air-mobile-now-with-android-support/

However, I second your request. It would be great to have the same networking functionality on mobile as desktop. I could really use some tcp server sockets for my mobile project.

...and while you are at it, please add support for sending UDP packets to broadcast addresses.  There exists many embedded network devices in which the only way to discover them requires the transmission of broadcast packets.

Another vote for UDP broadcast (multicast) support. In order to do SSDP/uPnP aware apps (on desktop and mobile)
