Situation Description

UDP discard percentage.

 

Suggested Actions

The total number of UDP datagrams received that were undeliverable, divided by the total number of UPD datagrams received. Most datagrams are discarded because the port number specified in the datagram cannot be associated with an active application on the receiving host. Excessive UDP discards can degrade network performance or indicate that a necessary application is not available. See the IBM IP Diagnosis Guide for help in isolating the cause of the discards.
