NAME

       udpclo - UDP-based BP convergence layer output task

SYNOPSIS

       udpclo

DESCRIPTION

       udpclo is a background "daemon" task that extracts bundles from the queues of bundles ready for transmission via UDP to remote bundle
       protocol agents, encapsulates them in UDP datagrams, and sends those datagrams to the appropriate remote UDP sockets as indicated by the
       host names and UDP port numbers (destination induct names) associated with the bundles by the routing daemons that enqueued them.

       Note that udpclo is a "promiscuous" CLO daemon, able to transmit bundles to any UDP destination induct.	Its duct name is '*' rather than
       the induct name of any single UDP destination induct to which it might be dedicated, so scheme configuration directives that cite this
       outduct must provide destination induct IDs.  For the UDP convergence-layer protocol, destination induct IDs are identical to induct names,
       i.e., they are of the form local_hostname[:local_port_nbr].

       udpclo is spawned automatically by bpadmin in response to the 's' (START) command that starts operation of the Bundle Protocol, and it is
       terminated by bpadmin in response to an 'x' (STOP) command.  udpclo can also be spawned and terminated in response to START and STOP
       commands that pertain specifically to the UDP convergence layer protocol.

EXIT STATUS

       0   udpclo terminated normally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  If this termination was not commanded, investigate and solve the
	   problem identified in the log file and use bpadmin to restart udpclo.

       1   udpclo terminated abnormally, for reasons noted in the ion.log file.  Investigate and solve the problem identified in the log file,
	   then use bpadmin to restart udpclo.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The following diagnostics may be issued to the ion.log log file:

       udpclo can't attach to BP.
	   bpadmin has not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations.

       No memory for UDP buffer in udpclo.
	   ION system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and restart UDP.

       No such udp duct.
	   No UDP outduct with duct name '*' has been added to the BP database.  Use bpadmin to stop the UDP convergence-layer protocol, add the
	   outduct, and then restart the UDP protocol.

       CLO task is already started for this engine.
	   Redundant initiation of udpclo.

       CLO can't open UDP socket
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and restart udpclo.

       CLO write() error on socket
	   Operating system error.  Check errtext, correct problem, and restart udpclo.

       Bundle is too big for UDP CLA.
	   Configuration error: bundles that are too large for UDP transmission (i.e., larger than 65535 bytes) are being enqueued for udpclo.
	   Change routing.
