There isn't an RUDP library as such, but if you look at the bit-struct  
library you'll find examples of how to roll your own protocols and  
then it's a question of opening a raw packet socket. Details of that  
vary from platform to platform. You'll get best performance by  
implementing RUDP as a C extension, which should be similar to the  
standard library's UDP and TCP/IP libraries.
