I tried to use a patch to communicate with a standalone app (running on the same computer), using s and r with the same name, it is not working. Can anyone advise how to make it work? What about two separate standalone apps running on one computer? Thanks.

Check out udpsend and udpreceive. You can prepend index names for sending and route to unpack the indexes at receive.
