If you scroll down, you'll find the udp provider probes listed.

It sounds like you're raising an issue of documentation and you have a question 
about how a specific query would be phrased. Is that accurate?

> Is there a reason why we don't have "tcp:::closed"?

I'm sure Alan can address that.

Again, I think a thorough reading of the case will reveal that that information 
was indeed included.
