UDP
The UDP service is made up of two components, a UDP server running on the Upstream side of the Data Diode and a UDP client running on the Downstream side.
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
Parameters are divided into sections in the same way as they will be when configuring the service using the DD Manager.
