Thanks for your quick response, I downloaded the ISIC tool and used the following command to identify the problem:

udpsic -s rand -d server-ip-address,port

where port is 514 (syslogd) which uses a python script to process the incoming messages.

The command 'netstat -lnup | grep 514' shows python as the bound application.

Thanks,
John

What do you call "malformed UDP packets" and how should they be detected by the library?
