# UDP Stop

## Overview

![The UDP Stop Node.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f2cdd0bab6c835a6fc773008abb53e6e92c7f30a%2Fudpstopnode20241.png?alt=media)

**UDP Stop** stops the **UDP** connection, which was previously established with [**UDP Start**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/communication/udp/udpstart).

**UDP Communication** in **Incari** is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the **Plugins Editor**, it will not appear in the **Project Settings** and **UDP Stop** will not show up in the [**Toolbox**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/overview). Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/modules/plugins) to find out more information.

It is important to note that while the **UDP Stop Node** stops a **UDP** connection, it may not completely finish disconnecting from said connection when the **Node** is executed. This could lead to the **Logic** attached to its **Output Pulse** to not work even though there is technically nothing wrong. In order to avoid this, it is highly suggested to use the [**On UDP Stop Node**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/communication/udp/events/onudpstop) instead. This way, the **Logic** will only execute once the **UDP** connection has definitely been disconnected from. This way, it is assured that the **Logic** will execute once the connection to the **UDP** connection has been terminated.

Again, the user must first use the **UDP Stop Node** to close the connection. Separately, the **On UDP Stop Node** can be used to execute the desired **Communication Logic**.
