Data through UDP on Development Board with Linux

Hello there, I'll start by saying that im totally new to this Linux world.

I didnt know if this was bad placed because it involves Embedded Linux and development boards, but if it is the wrong forum i ask the admins to move it.

The thing is that i have a sensor that sends data through UDP (4098 bytes). How does linux deal with these information, automatically placed in memory? Do i have to assign a specific location?
If it do it by itself where or how do i find it? if not? how do i specify the location?

Yea im new at a lot of things as you can see, maybe a short explanation will help, advices?

Thank you, Ruben.

In general, application data have to be saved in a special location that belong to application. For UDP packet that carry on application data doesn't need to save to a specific location, the UDP socket(TCP stack) will take care of it.
