Thanks for the reply Abhi

No need to worry about whether it was rejected or accepted. Just need to send UDP 
packet on different ports. I checked sendto manual and it says that it sends data on 
connected sockets. This gives me hint that to send such a packet I have to write a 
program that tries to connect on that port using UDP. 
 
Thanks Abhi. Any further suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Read the socket(2) and sendto(2) manual pages. Or buy the Stevens book
(UNIX network programming.) Oh, and by the way, did you ask Google?

You should get ICMP messages for certain kinds of errors. Traceroute,
for example, depends on this.
