UDP
Description
The UDP service is made up of two components, a UDP server running on the Upstream DD Engine and a UDP client running on the Downstream DD Engine.
The server reads incoming UDP packets and directly forwards the payload of each packet to the Downstream service.
A protocol break is performed when transferring data through the service. This means that only the data section of the UDP datagram is forwarded from the server service to the client service.
Configuration
In this section, the UDP service parameters are described in detail. Parameters are divided into sections, UDP Server Upstream and UDP Client Downstream, in the same way as they are displayed when configuring the service using the DD Manager.
In DD Manager, as well as in the parameter descriptions below, mandatory parameters are indicated by asterisks (*).
