One problem with UDP communications is that, unlike TCP/IP, there is
no backlog of UDP packets. So if you are listening at the precise
moment that the UDP packet is sent, it will not be received. This
is not incompatible with the properties of UDP, but can result in
bad performance if packets are missed, time out, and are resent.
Some Ethernet controllers have built-in RAM and the drivers can
support retention of UDP packets in that RAM. If the drivers
supports such a capability, this option may be enabled to use it.
NOTE: If this option is enabled, the driver must support the
rxavail() method in the net_driver_s structure.
