Eric, thanks for your explanation very much.

My solution is ugly. Modify UDP protocol stack is just a way to circumvent. 
Most in need of modification should be the NIC's fireware.　However,
such as the e1000e network card for years, and no serious problems have been reported.

So, I think this thread can be closed now.
