There's nothing inherently strange about this leak. Just because an 
object was created down inside the Cocoa frameworks doesn't mean that 
they're responsible for it being leaked. Anything that retains the 
object might be responsible, if it forgets to release it. You have to 
consider all the code that accesses this object.

Either some code you aren't showing is retaining that NSData object 
(possibly the udpGetIp: or udpGetPort: methods), or your code is 
running on a background thread that doesn't have an autorelease pool. 
In the latter case you'd already be getting warnings about objects 
being leaked, though.
