Reading a UDP device using the TCPIP datasource module
-
Does the TCPIP datasource module support reading UDP devices? If not, what alternatives are there for reading UDP, short of writing a custom module?

Pedro,
It currently doesn't support UDP and I'm not aware of any module that does. I've written some UDP code in Java before and I don't think it would be too much work to add UDP support to the module. I'll put it on the list for the future but if you want it sooner I would contact JoelHaggar.

Thanks, Terry. I was thinking that duplicating the TCPIP data source would be a good start and save a lot of work. Another option is to simply add a UDP checkbox to the TCPIP source, though that may require renaming the source to "IP."
