UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the primary network transport protocols (along with TCP) that enable data transfer across the Internet. It provides a connectionless transmission model, unlike TCP which provides a connection-based transmission model. Many network services and applications communicate on various UDP ports. Nagios Core and Nagios xi are capable of monitor applications and services that communicate over UDP.
