A simple packet suggests UDP.  TCP is a stream protocol.

What system and what language?

On Unix-like systems the low-level outline for something like a C
program is:

For the receiver:
  Create a socket.
  Call bind with a zero address to associate a local IP address with it.
  Call listen to indicate that the socket is read to accept data.
  Wait for data using something like select.

For the sender:
  Create a socket.
  Call bind with the destination address.
  Use send to send (or write) to send a datagram.

(Note: It's been a while, so you will have to check this.)
