Are we talking about some legacy Xenomai or even RTnet version? Or where did you 
get the examples from? They are not part of RTnet in Xenomai 3.

I bet your examples are falling back to normal network here, and that is 
provided between your test nodes via the vnics. This leads to my first question: 
Where did you pick the examples up, how did you build them etc.? Also, did you 
make sure that rtudp was loaded?
