I gave an answer with about the same detail as the question. Please provide much more details about what you mean, what you're trying to achieve etc.

I'm a bit confused about what you're doing here. Are you monitoring local or remote? In case you're receiving data from remote hosts, just start sending to the same port from another host and off you go. Again, you're not saying very much about your setup so it's hard to give you good answers.
