Ah yeah... twisted endpoints that support udp... Perhaps when Yawning Angel finishes Lightweight Obfuscated Datagram Protocol (LODP) there will be interesting things we can do with this... and a more immediate perceived need for twisted datagram endpoint interfaces.

Another point for this is that "someday" tor will have UDP support...
There's a reason that the existing interfaces all have "stream" in their names :-).
The main reason we didn't do "datagram" at the same time is that there's a pretty clear client/server division in all stream endpoints (one side has to initiate, the other side has to respond) but given the possibilities for multicast / fan-out / fan-in with datagram sockets, "just do what UDP does" didn't seem obviously correct.
I'd love it if someone with an interest would make some datagram endpoint interfaces though.
