    No. UDP is at the packet level. Interception is a different layer.

    To use to today’s language, UDP yeets the packets at you as fast as it can generate them.

    It doesn’t care if you catch any of them.

    Don’t yeet the baby.

      actually, do yeet the baby if you have an application with different needs. for example, if you want to play a game, you’re better off yeeting 60 babies a second and just hope that whoever is on the side catches enough of them to get a smooth stream of babies, than making sure every baby is handed gently to the next person and get the whole line clogged up the moment anything disrupts it. if you just use the yeetomatic 3000 you’re always getting fresh babies on the other end, a few might just be dropped in the process
