Implementing a synchronous UDP client
A synchronous UDP client is a part of a distributed application that complies with the following statements:

A typical synchronous UDP client works according to the following algorithm:
- Obtain an IP-address and a protocol port number of each server the client application is intended to communicate with.
- Allocate a UDP socket.
- Exchange messages with the servers.
- Deallocate the socket.
