UDP Interface
=============
A UDP interface can be useful for communicating over IP networks, both
private and the internet. It can also allow broadcast communication
over IP networks, so it can provide an easy way to enable connectivity
with all other peers on a local area network.
*Please Note!* Using broadcast UDP traffic has performance implications,
especially on WiFi. If your goal is simply to enable easy communication
with all peers in your local ethernet broadcast domain, the
:ref:`Auto Interface<interfaces-auto>` performs better, and is just as
easy to use.
The below example is enabled by default on new Reticulum installations,
as it provides an easy way to get started and to test Reticulum on a
pre-existing LAN.

# This example enables communication with other
# local Reticulum peers over UDP.

# forward_ip and forward_port, you can also bind
