Not sure if this would help but my student has recently updated 
osFunctions to
to retrieve and output UDP port information. Our purpose was to drive a 
continuous
simulation from the outside and have real-time geometry/visual feedback 
in OpenSim.

The problem we are currently having now is not so much getting data into 
OpenSim in
real time but figuring out the new region module API for geometry - I 
think it
might have changed since when the HelloWorld region module was 
originally created. We are
thinking of this region module approach, rather than LSL, due to speed 
issues that we've
encountered with using LSL for an outside interface.

I think your project requires similar functionality to ours. There are 
two issues:

  1) rapid I/O to/from OpenSim
  2) ability to process I/O data within OpenSim from (1)
