UDP Profile

Next, we are going to define a UDP profile. A UDP profile will instruct the BIG-IP DNS listener on how to handle UDP traffic. The DNS profile we created earlier instructs the BIG-IP DNS on how to process the layer 7 data inside of the UDP packets, but not how to handle the UDP protocol itself. For more information on UDP profiles, please refer to the link below.
