XINU implements UDP as per RFC 768


Debugging

To enable UDP debugging, uncomment the following line in include/udp.h 

//#define TRACE_UDP     TTY1

In order to see the trace results you open another console to the second serial port using the router name followed by the number 2. 

mips-console router2

Alternatively TTY1 can be changed to TTY0 resulting in the trace printing on the main console.
