Applications that use OSC are generally running on the same machine or a local network that you have control over. You shouldn't drop packets on single machine unless you are sending a lot of them and run out of buffer. Buffer size is also tunable if you do have issues like that. If you need to do things over the internet it would probably be best to do OSC over TCP.
