UDP Profile
#####################################

A UDP profile is a protocol profile that controls the way BIG-IP processes UDP traffic. With DNS, custom UDP profiles are often used to set low idle times so as not to fill the connection table as DNS tends to be a lot of short lived connections. 


Navigate to: **DNS  ››  Delivery : Profiles : Protocol : UDP**
