    Hi,
    with TCP socket I can test a TCP port. Is there a way to test an UDP port.

    Which OS? Here are a few links but I've never used the Win versions:

    http://www.hping.org/download.php - Linux/Windows util

    UDP Ping - http://perform.wpi.edu/downloads/udp-tools/udp-ping.tgz

    Solaris: ping -U

    Netcat does this as well and is available for installation / compilation on most nix OS.

    nc -u <host> <port>

    I think what the original poster was asking though is can we have UDP port checking as a service level check rather than having to script it ourselves. At least, that's what I was looking for when I stumbled across this thread :)
