![]()  | 
connection ID is a network connection refnum that uniquely identifies the UDP socket. | 
![]()  | 
data in contains the data to write to another UDP socket. In an Ethernet environment, restrict data to 8192 bytes. In a LocalTalk environment, restrict data to 1458 bytes to maintain gateway performance. | 
![]()  | 
timeout ms specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the function waits before the function completes and returns an error. The default value is 25,000 ms or 25 seconds. A value of -1 indicates to wait indefinitely. |
