UDP client
This GoLang mini-project creates a binary file that sends packets with a counter on an UDP port and prints the output to the stdout.
I use this udp-client project to verify the correct working of my infrastructure.
Usage
Download:
mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/egbertp/udp-client
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/egbertp/udp-client
git clone https://github.com/egbertp/udp-client.git
Build and Run

$ glide install
Build the binary
$ make build
Release the app
$ make release
Run the app
$ ./udp-client --address 127.0.0.1 --port 37059

If you use this project together with my udp-server project, you can check if your firewalls are functioning properly
The output from the udp-server is:
