Hello,<br>
<br>
After setting up nginx to run, I've noticed that 'lsof' shows all
nginx processes (master + workers) listening on an ephemeral UDP
port.<br>
<blockquote><tt>nginx 25142 vgrinshp 4u IPv4 422450236
0t0 UDP 127.0.0.1:33226 </tt><br>
<tt>nginx 25144 vgrinshp 4u IPv4 422450236 0t0 UDP
127.0.0.1:33226 </tt><br>
<tt>nginx 25145 vgrinshp 4u IPv4 422450236 0t0 UDP
127.0.0.1:33226 </tt><br>
<tt>nginx 25146 vgrinshp 4u IPv4 422450236 0t0 UDP
127.0.0.1:33226 </tt><br>
<tt>nginx 25147 vgrinshp 4u IPv4 422450236 0t0 UDP
127.0.0.1:33226 </tt><br>
</blockquote>

I did not explicitly configure anything that (AFAIK) uses UDP, and I
could not find anything in the doc that mentions any use of UDP
ports by nginx.<br>
The ports seem to be used by nginx even with the most minimal
nginx.conf.<br>
<br>
Does anyone here know how/why these ports are used?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any info!<br>
