It depends on what you mean by "listen". If you mean "wait for a message", that's a "read" If you mean "coordinate state with the other end", that is not part of UDP semantics. > The passive or listening endpoint doesn't initiate a "connect" operation > to indicate the address/port of the remote end, that is indicated by the > arrival of a packet from the remote end.
