title: UDP Testing Procedures
body: <p>I'm writing a suite of application components which will eventually be a part of a game engine. I just finished working on my threading system and am switching over to testing multithreaded network functionality with an emphasis on UDP. </p>
  
  <p>If I was making a TCP server the first thing I would test is HTTP: Send a HTTP request to www.google.com, echo the reply to stdout, hooray. </p>
  
  <p>What's a common UDP protocol that I can test UDP internet connectivity with? I can't think of any off the top of my head. DNS? </p>
