UDP Statistics
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) provides a datagram mode of
packet-switched communications. It uses IP as the underlying transport
mechanism, providing access to IP-like services. UDP packets are
delivered just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that may be
discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would be
too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
