HOW ASA TRACKS UDP CONN TABLE LIKE TCP TABLE ....we know UDP is stateless.../connectionless...

Hi ,

I am really confused how ASA tracks UDP connection details like TCP conn details ..any detailed document or explanation will be helpful

Best Regards

Basically each time an ASA receives a new connection being UDP it will record the source IP, source port, destination IP and destination port. That information will be holded into the stateful table of the ASA and a reply for that packet will be expected for a specific amount of time (timeout).

That´s it.
