# Fwctl::Services::udp\_service(3pm)

Fwctl module to handle bidirectional UDP traffic.

## NAME

Fwctl::Services::udp\_service - Fwctl module to handle bidirectional UDP traffic.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    accept   udp_service -src INTERNAL_NET -dst FIREWALL -masq -port 2049
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is similar to the tcp\_service one, in that it handles simple bidirectional UDP communication between client and server. Source and destination ports are given using the *local\_port* and *port* respectively. Those defaults to UNPRIVILEGED\_PORTS. Enough to shoot you in the foot, I know.
