udp traffic?
« on: March 03, 2012, 06:11:31 PM »

How much udp traffic should I be seeing?

port 4472 is currently carrying a few hundred bytes/second

port 4465 is carrying ZERO

port forwarding is enabled on the router and sending udp traffic from offsite to th eport shows up on monitors, so I'm a lttle surprised.

That's perfectly normal behaviour in case you're not using servers.

I am using servers, but 95%+ of the files on queue are acquired via Kad or source exchange

That's still normal. The UDP port for extended server communication carries very low traffic, which indeed can even be zero if Kad works well.

Disabling Kad before connecting or executing a global search (in case you have more than one server in your servers list) should produce traffic on that port, too.

Or possibly nothing at all.

Looking closer all the file sources are being acquired via Passive/Kad/SourceExchange

I don't tend to run searches inside amule due to the amount of pollution in the results.
