Yeah I sent this email out real quick without looking at the doc. Sorry.

I'm using UDP because the device I'm coding for uses UDP. Twisted sure saved me a ton of time.

Out of curiosity, why doesn't listenUDP accept Factories?

This would, to be a general purpose thing, need to create a protocol per datagram. This would be... inefficient. In TCP you have a protocol per connection. In UDP there are no connections. You might build one on top of UDP, in which case you would have a protocol-ish object you dispatch to, but how you determine this object and its lifecycle would be something you would have to determine.
