So I guess if I send a buffer broadcast out of MAX, the Lanbox will receive it and will pass it to a layer or the mixer as specified in the global settings UDP tab. In this configuration input 3 of the MAX object lcudp-pack will be ignored.

No, in this case input 3 indicates which buffer you're claiming to be broadcasting, which must be the mixer (254). The LanBox ignores broadcasts of other buffers, though other applications may do something with them.

Note that though the command is called "buffer broadcast", you don't need to actually broadcast it but may just send it directly to a LanBox.

Second possibility: I send the UDP packet as buffer write (feed a 1 into input 4 of lcudp-pack). in this case input 3 won't be ignored. but I guess the UDP settings in the Lanbox. Right? Wrong? Yes Fokko, you told me that it's not possible to write to a layer, but why is this input 3 there?

Contrary to what Fokko said, you should indeed be able to do a buffer write straight into the mixer *or any layer* using buffer write, regardless of the UDP input setting of the LanBox (except things like address of course). This is what input 3 is for in this case.
