Another thing: OSC is generally sent per udp. The bigger the datagram, the 
less likely it is actually sent and received. If you encounter this, either 
split the data into smaller chunks to be sent or use the osc to define a tcp-
connection for the big binary data.

Include avahi/bonjour/zeroconf into your equation and it will be the cure for 
cancer or something equally cool.

Have fun,
