look again at the already working, systemd independent service

the code snippet is from here:
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activation.html

i just want a binary fired up by systemd socket-activation on whatever
port receibe UDP connections and the port shouldn't matter because PID1
is listenining and handover the socket

not more, not less

I am not fully grokking what you are trying to do, but to recv UDP
dgrams you'd have to write a tiny program that calls recvfrom() (or a
similar syscall) on the sockets passed, and then replies to it with
sendto() (or a similar syscall), using the address of the source
(i.e. the struct sockaddr recvfrom() returns) to respond to the dgram.

You can easily hack that up in C or some scripting language. I am not
aware of a ready-made tool that can do that for you, in particularly
of non that is capable of doing that for more than one listening UDP
socket at a time.
