   Maybe not this kind of webserver we used to think about.   
      
   But bittorrent trackers are webserver. Very special kind of   
   webservers. And some implementations are able to hanlde udp requests.   
   They do this because udp is "cheaper". No need to handle states in the   
   kernel.
