 A UDP transfer should be added on a best effort basis, e.g. lost packages
 are not retransmitted.

 It should be suitable as a GSoC project. Designing such a more general
 purpose interface needs a lot of experience.

 One option is to simply connect to the lttng tools, e.g.
 [https://lttng.org/man/8/lttng-relayd lttng-relayd].

 > With UDP a 32bit value at the start is worth the extra overhead. A few
 high order bits can be flags, for example overflow, resync, etc and the
 remainder a sequence number to let the remote know if data has been lost.

 For the receiver, it should be clear if the data loss happens because the
 target ring buffer overflowed or packets are lost during transport.
