What does selecting Follow UDP Stream do?

• A. It opens a separate window showing the UDP conversation for the selected packet's UDP connection.
• B. It decodes UDP into a chosen protocol.
• C. It logs UDP metadata only.
• D. It modifies the UDP packet.

Answer: (A)

Follow UDP Stream is about looking at the whole exchange of UDP data between two endpoints. When you pick a UDP packet and choose this option, Wireshark opens a separate window that reassembles and displays the entire UDP conversation in order, so you can see the full request and response as a continuous data stream. This helps you analyze how a UDP-based protocol communicates across multiple datagrams, such as a DNS query/response or a game protocol, in one place.

It’s not about decoding UDP into another protocol, which would be a different feature, and it doesn’t merely log metadata or modify the packets.
