Net::Server UDP protocol.

## NAME

Net::Server::Proto::UDP - Net::Server UDP protocol.

## DESCRIPTION

Protocol module for Net::Server.  This module implements the SOCK\_DGRAM socket type under INET (also known as UDP). See Net::Server::Proto.

## PARAMETERS

The following parameters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server.  See Net::Server for more information on reading arguments.

- udp\_recv\_len

  Specifies the number of bytes to read from the UDP connection handle.  Data will be read into `$self`-\>{'server'}-\>{'udp\_data'}. Default is 4096.  See IO::Socket::INET and recv.

- udp\_recv\_flags

  See recv.  Default is 0.

- udp\_broadcast

  Default is undef.
