Hi folks,
I saw kong can support udp log and tcp packets.
Does it also handle udp packet as well?
Thanks.

if you mean proxying UDP traffic, then unfortunately no. It's on the roadmap afaik, but no timelines available.

With UDP feature added, Kong will be a very good choice for game server developments and will make k8s more Comfortable for game server deployments. So sad..... what a pity.
Is it hard to add UDP into kong? Is it similar to Nginx UDP upstream?

+1 would be good to have this.
Scenario for me: Want to proxy Logstash through Kong which supports only UDP
Why is this closed?

@hbagdi Do you have any pointers on how to implement this? If this is similar to nginx UDP reverse proxy settings, I'd like to take a stab at this?

Is it possible to proxy a set of metrics received over HTTP/TCP to a dogstatsd upstream server running UDP?

No. Kong cannot do protocol conversion between HTTP or TCP to UDP.

you could probably write a plugin that takes the http request and sends it of over tcp/udp (from Lua, so without using the actual proxy engine). It would be similar to the TCP/UDP logging plugins, but with a different payload.
