Network

The NetworkUD component allows sending network packets to other Computers, connected via Network Cables, Network Routers and Wan Routers. Upon sending a packet, the shortest path is calculated (only utilizing WAN routers if absolutely necessary), and after some time (which depends on the distance) the packet is emitted on the destination computer in the form of a network machine event, as described in Computer#Machine events.

A packet will only be received on the destination computer if the destination's port is open.
