   UDP is, at least at the IP level, connectionless.   
      
   If any requests (assuming client/server) are outstanding then   
   the replies will be lost.  The requestor will then try again,   
   the new translation entry will be added, and things will continue   
   on as usual.  At least that is the way most UDP related services go.   
      
   If the server application keeps state based on the source   
   address then it will fail, but most don't.
