Setting Up Raw UDP
UDP is a non connection-oriented data transmission method. By circumventing TCP’s handshaking process,
UDP gains the advantages of fast transmission speed, and high transmission efficiency. The disadvantage is
that UDP is unable to guarantee data integrity, since UDP does not re-assemble out-of-order packets, or
retransmit packets when data is missing. UDP is an ideal transmission method if you need fast data
transmission, and upper-layer application software is given the task of checking data for transmission errors.
CN2510’s UDP mode supports 4 configurable groups of IP addresses, allowing data to be broadcast over the
network to one or more groups of IP addresses.
