Can you route UDP traffic?
UDP is routable. UDP is a routable transport protocol, TCP and SPX are as well, NETBEUI is non-routable.
Is UDP session based?
UDP is stateless and connectionless in that there is no handshake to set up a session, and no connection between the sender and receiver; the packets may take different routes to get to a single destination. UDP has no mechanism to handle flow control of packets.
What traffic uses UDP?

- Bind the socket to server address.
- Wait until datagram packet arrives from client.
- Process the datagram packet and send a reply to client.

Why UDP is needed?
UDP reduces overhead because it does not add flow control, error control, or sequence delivery unlike connection-oriented services. UDP is used for the transmission of data in which delivery of the data is more important than accuracy. Therefore, UDP is needed.
Why do UDP reverse routes need to be aged out?
UDP reverse routes have to be aged out generally in contrast to TCP connection states which can usually be tracked by traffic and just need some timeout for cleaning up. Imagine a DNS request: a client sends a UDP datagram to an outside IP address.
Why does UDP pose a problem for Nat?
UDP poses a problem for NAT as there is no traffic to indicate whether a connection (port pair) is in use any longer or not. UDP reverse routes have to be aged out generally in contrast to TCP connection states which can usually be tracked by traffic and just need some timeout for cleaning up.
Why is UDP communication blocked in Windows Server R2?
In Windows Server 2008 R2 environment, inbound UDP communication may be blocked when the connection to the network is interrupted and then restored. Inbound TCP and ICMP communications may also be blocked in this situation.
Can a firewall block inbound UDP communication?
This problem occurs if the inbound UDP communication is enabled by Windows Firewall. One of the services that may be affected by this issue is Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC).
