Do you know/understand how it works and how it is different to normal IP connections?

Possibly useful page -> http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/eg3567/inet-pages/udp.html

And, from Wikipedia  
Quote
Common network applications that use UDP include: the Domain Name System (DNS), streaming media applications such as IPTV, Voice over IP (VoIP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and many online games.
So if your hardware works with DNS (and how else do you browse the net?) it seems reasonable to suppose that it should be able to function with UDP. It places the emphasis for control on the applications rather than the protocol.

N.b. I am not an expert in this, I might be entirely off-base.
