    On the server side after calls to driver bind, listen, and accept have been successfully made I will be returned a NetworkConnection for a connected client, however that structure appears to store no information about the remote host address or port.

    Presumably this information is stored internally though in order to map inbound UDP packets to connections, so is it possible to get a NetworkEndPoint structure for the connection somehow?

    Yes, 
    NetworkDriver.RemoteEndPoint
    can be used to get the remote endpoint of a connection.

    The documentation doesn't have a description for what that method does but it's the one I was looking for and it seems completely obvious now, thanks!

    Yes, our documentation can certainly be improved. That's something we're working on.
