<h3>UDP Channel</h3>
<p><b>Syntax</b></p>
<p><tt>dp_connect udp -host </tt><em><tt>hostname</tt></em><tt>
-port </tt><em><tt>thePort</tt></em><tt> -myaddr </tt><em><tt>addr</tt></em><tt>
-myport </tt><em><tt>port</tt></em></p>
<p><b>Comments</b></p>
<p>UDP is a stripped down version of TCP.
UDP does the bare necessities and nothing more: it does
not do error checking, reliabilitiy or packet sequencing.
It is, however, much faster than TCP and allows dynamic
configuration of the destination IP address and port.</p>
<dl>
<dt><i>hostname</i> is the IP address or DNS hostname of
the destination machine and is optional.</dt>
<dt><i>thePort</i> is the destination port address and is
optional.</dt>
<dt><i>addr</i> is the local IP address and is optional.</dt>
<dt><i>port</i> is the local port and is optional.</dt>
<dt> </dt>
<dt>Note that if no arguments are given, "dp_connect
udp" will open a UDP socket but <b>fconfigure</b>
will need to be run on the channel before data can be
sent through it since the socket does not have a
configured destination.</dt>

<p><b>Examples</b></p>
<dl>
<dt><tt>dp_connect udp</tt></dt>
<dt><tt>dp_connect udp -host foo.com -port 1025<br>
dp_connect udp -myaddr foo.bar.com -myport 5150<br>
dp_connect udp -host foo.bar.com -port 5150 -myaddr
foo.org -myport 1066</tt></dt>
