UDP Datagram - will it be dropped?

QFT. I don't think UDP even has sequence numbers (and thus wouldn't even *know* if they were out of order) because UDP is stateless and is not reliable (your UDP datagrams may not even make it to the destination, and neither party will be the wiser unless there is some verification done at layer 7).

Right. The sender of the UDP frames just sends them and doesn't follow-up on them.

I looked it up, since I was not sure. You are correct, there are no sequence numbers for UDP.
