[DUG] Heartbeat packets

[Jeremy Coulter]

Hi all.
A few weeks back I asked a question about TCP/IP and it was suggested I sent
"HeartBeat" packet/s to the server from the client to see if the server is
still reachabel when using TCP/IP.
 
I was wondering, would UDP on the same port be ok for sending these
"heartbeat" packets?
What I am looking at here is that I can use the same port for TCP as for
UDP.
 
Wouldt this idea work ok?
