Did you run wireshark on receiver or sender?
Check MIB stats if packet was dropped because of low mem or incorrect
checksumm or some other problematic fields in UDP header. Sending part
can see it perfectly correct, which will not be the issue on the
receiver. If packet was delivered to receiving host, udp input path is
rather simple so there are no places which can race with something and
thus lost the packet.
