master

  • Issues fixed (if any):

Source address of UDP replies may be different from the destination address of corresponding UDP requests.

  • Brief description of code changes (suitable for use as a commit message):

When accepting a new UDP packet, replace the session socket with a new one bound to the destination address of the incoming packet. This way the right source IP address will be used on packets sent towards the client.
