The idea that there can be no reordering on a local network is an urban
myth. There might be trunking/bonding for instance.
Or you might even have reordering on loopback if you use some packet
schedulers.

As far as I know, we do not have any muxer that supports reordering,
so you are essentially broken if you use raw UDP.
