+  Description: TCP supports read-ahead buffering to handle the receipt of
+               TCP/IP packets when there is no read() in place.  Should such
+               capability be useful for UDP?  PRO: Would reduce packet loss
+               and enable support for poll()/select().  CON: UDP is inherently
+               lossy so why waste memory footprint?

+  Description: poll()/select is not implement for UDP sockets because they do
+               do not support read-ahead buffering.  Therefore, there is never
+               a case where you can read from a UDP socket without blocking.
