Answer 1

There was an defect with the UdpServer component which I resolved and this now works hosted in a Service Fabric Service.

The issue with the code wa with this line :

_udpClient = new UdpClient(ipAddress, port);

This is the wrong overload for listening for traffic, it needed to be:

_udpClient = new UdpClient(port);

I did try :

_udpClient = new UdpClient(new IPAddress(IPAddress.Parse(_ipAddress)),port)

But this doesn't work; as the line from the Communication listen (as it describes itself) which retrieves the host returns the hostname and not the IPAddress, I think you could alter this behaviour by makes some changes to the manifest but just the port was sufficient for now.
