Some reading on basic TCP/IP is clearly in order... "UDP is normally used for time sensitive information"?!? Where did you get this? UDP in and of itself provides no delivery guarantees whatsoever. TCP == "stateful" at the IP layer. The client / server pair have a defined "connection" between them. This protocol provides for IP-level error handling and traffic control. UDP == "stateless" at the IP layer. The client / server pair have no connection "state" and merely barf packets at each other. It's up to the applications running on each host to provide error handling and handle traffic control. Simplex traffic (one direction per port): 1 - Send = only outbound traffic 2 - Receive = only inbound traffic Duplex traffics (bi-directional per port): 3 - Send-Receive = traffic is received on this port, but ONLY if traffic is sent first 1 - Receive-Send = traffic is sent on this port, but ONLY if traffic is received first In all cases, "send" refers to traffic that comes from an ISA-protected network, while "receive" means traffic that travels in the opposite direction. Hope that's a bit clearer... -----Original Message----- From: TRadtke@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:TRadtke@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 1:41 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: UDP Question http://www.ISAserver.org Well, UDP is normally used for time sensitive information. UDP delivery is not guarantied at all. Most of the time it's used both ways if it's being used since if I'm not getting your traffic, it really won't matter if your not getting mine. For example, live video streams. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew English [mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 3:37 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: UDP Question http://www.ISAserver.org Hey Steve, Actually its not a silly question Cable/DSL routers use a default UDP setting, when you look at companies port settings for VPN say, or a online game, or whatever you want, they don't specific UDP Send, or any of the other variables.

Send, Send Receive, Receive, Receive Send, etc.. ? Every time I see port information for UDP I don't know which variables I should be using.
