Hi, am using UDP controls to send packets of data between 2 programs. 

What happens: SENDER calls the .send method multiple times to send multiple packets. I confirm the SEND event fires and prior to that the bytes are accepted.

However, the receiver doesn't always receive every packet. Is this normal? If yes, where do the stray packets go? No error is generated on either end.

Thanks and Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Yes. That's normal. UDP does not have a built in acknowledgement system. If you want guaranteed delivery use TCP or write your own acknowledgement system.
