Regarding UDP Entry table

[Naganarasimha]

Hi all,   In the Udp Table, udpLocalAddress OID has the following definition   “ The local IP address for this UDP listener.  In the case of a UDP listener which is willing to accept datagrams for any IP interface associated with the node, the value 0.0.0.0 is used. “   Actually I need to find all the ports which are in listening state. As Udp ports are stateless and if it is present in this table it implies that they are ready to transmit data, I presumed all the udp ports are in listening state and just was taking the count of number of entries in this table.   But later in some machines having xp os, I am able to see there 2 entries in the table with same port number but with different udpLocalAddress OID values.   Please can some one explain me the meaning of the udpLocalAddress OID Description (highlighted in bold ) .  And does it mean that  if the oid value is not “ 0.0.0.0” then  does it mean it is not willing to receive any datagrams and if so should I have to neglect such entries from this table while calculating the ports which are willing to accept datagrams i.e. is in listening state.   Please reply to this mail as soon as possible.   Regards, Naga
