Greetings,
Thanks so much for your reply Kit.
/dev/udp is not an actual device that you will see in /dev.
It is a bash call to open a udp port to read or write to/from.

You can also do this in bash with tcp.
For example
Some Data > /dev/udp/<IP address>/<port>
Some Data > /dev/tcp/<IP address>
I used it like
$printf "data" > /dev/udp/ip/port

Cheers
