Due to their stateless nature the UDP packets are never considered lost i.e nobody is going to go looking for them to retransmit. However they do have a Time To Live value. once this is expired the packet is considered out of date but wont be re-requested
Packets with expired TTL can't be re-requested for being "out of date" since they don't reach the server. As for lost packets, are you sure that the HLDS doesn't use a transmit protocol over UDP?
