# UDP Stop

## Overview

![The UDP Stop Node.](/files/VkOTDpwK2Rkr3NC2YY4s)

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

**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**](/incari-studio/toolbox/overview.md). Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](/incari-studio/modules/plugins.md) 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**](/incari-studio/toolbox/communication/udp/events/onudpstop.md) 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**.
