Btw Eric, why do you think UDP would be more appropriate than TCP?

While not being Eric, I would argue that UDP is much simpler. Fire-and-forget instead of connection handling, buffering, re-transmitting, ...

For embedded applications on a limited OS or without OS (think FPGA et al.) that don't have huge amounts of data, periodically sending a UDP message to a configurable address/port is about the most simple and robust thing you can do.
