[Twisted-Python] twisted listening on UDP port, why?

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Hi,

What do the logs for the app say?  Twisted logs a message when it binds a
UDP port.

Or, another though, you could put a breakpoint on listenUDP (or socket.bind
or something) and then run the process under pdb and look at the stack
trace.

You could also try sending some traffic to the port and see what happens.
:)  Maybe you'll get something back that identifies it or maybe you'll
provoke some more logging code somewhere.
