what ->
This is a common-lisp implementation of the Open Sound Control Protocol, aka OSC. It should be close to ansi standard, and does not rely on any external code/ffi/etc+ to do the basic encoding and decoding of packets. since OSC does not specify a transport layer, messages can be send using TCP or UDP, however it seems UDP is more common amongst the programms that communicate using the protocol.
