" Whether gtk-gnutella should honour the request for out-of-band delivery of query hits via UDP, provided UDP listening is enabled. It should not be necessary to open a port on your firewall to enable this as your node will be the origin of the UDP traffic and should therefore be able to receive replies sent to the transient UDP port opened by a masquerading firewall. It is enabled by default because it is deemed safe, as your node controls the bulk of the emitted traffic and honours the bandwidth limitation you have put in place."
I thought that the whilst the ultrapeers can reply, a lot of the UDP replies will come direct from distant nodes, hence by-passing the server-relaying. Won't therefore the src address of the incoming UDP packet be unpredictable, meaning firewalls will have to accept udp on that port from any address *without* a path first being opened up by the outgoing UDP ?
