Description

UDPEmitter and UDPListener use our own implementation suffering from the following issues -
1. All send() calls are essentially serialized
2. If the listener thread is interrupted, it doesn't restart listening.

Using Netty will solve the above-mentioned issues while making the code more maintainable as both UDP and TCP would then be using Netty.
