You could also look at an existing implementation of a network protocol
stack that provides this type of security; unreliable, partially-reliable
and fully-reliable flows with shared congestion control; and other useful
features like NAT traversal (all on top of UDP) at our website:

It is GPL'd, so the source is right there if you want to see an example of
how to do this, or just use our stack yourself.
