It`s possible, but it`s a wrong way. In my opinion:
1. If there are any problems with data transfer, you should double -
check your code. May be you should you TCP instead of UDP.
2. There is no consistent way to make this possible:
	Glib::ustring Gio::Socket->receive(gsize size)
Data transferring over media( network ) is a bit stream, so a developer
have to control what type of data is this stream( network protocol );
