That may be a bit too early for displaying info WRT UDP as it’s currently being tested, but eventually that would be nice to have some kind of a technical part of the dashboard displaying some technical statuses 👍 It could display the status of TCP connectivity, UDP connectivity, some averages on ingress & egress throughtput… some useful metrics to help us determine whether the node is working correctly.

One area that we have been exploring is UDP based transport protocols. For example, We have done some internal testing and have seen some good result from [QUIC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-34) protocol. Now we would like to gather more realistic performance metrics with UDP based protocols. In order to do that, we want to ask you, our storage node operators, to update your port-forwarding rules to also include UDP tra… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.storj.io/t/tcp-udp-dashboard-notification/13566)._
