its one thing you ned to know about UDP.
You dont have to wait for packets to arrive. just send a update every 10 ms and it will arive to other end. as long as you dont fill up the internet line that is.
one problem is to read the udp on other side. make sure you empty udp buffer each frame or else :D

Correction: It *may* arrive at the other end. It may not. With UDP, messages are not guaranteed to arrive. And they may also arrive out of order.
