FWIW, I believe the Network Broadcaster/Receiver patches don't have any special packet structure - they just use the string data verbatim as the UDP packet. The gotcha though is that it's in network byte order UTF-32, and any incoming UDP packets that aren't in this encoding are silently ignored.
Ruby may well handle incoming UTF-32 nicely, but you're probably finding it doesn't send in that encoding by default. Hope that helps! A.
