Nope.  UDP is just UDP.  What the infrastructure (or lack thereof) does is 
irrelevant.  Think of it as working simplex (ESS) vs. working via a 
repeater/digipeater (IBSS) is all.

You use UDP all the time when you watch streaming video or other applications 
like that which can tolerate some packet loss and keep working.  You drop some 
video packets, the picture just gets a little jumpy but it keeps working.
