Subject: Inbound UDP traffic?

Hi,

I have a filtering router that sits in front of my RealServer.  The router is
logging ACL violations for what appear to RealPlayer accesses from end users.
Here is an example:

APR  5 13:47:40 5/1 606167 ACL-7: NO ACL rule match! Discarding packet
APR  5 13:47:40 5/1 606168 ACL-7: UDP   SrcPort: 6970 DestPort: 11602
APR  5 13:47:40 5/1 606169 ACL-7: Source: <random IP address>
APR  5 13:47:40 5/1 606170 ACL-7: Dest: <IP address of my RealServer V7>

My understanding is that UDP traffic would be completely unidirectional, from
the RealServer to the RealPlayer.  The ACL warning (above) seems to indicate
that RealPlayer is now sending traffic back to RealServer.  Anyone know what is
going on here?

-Dennis.
