How can we improve Windows Azure Virtual Machines for Windows?

UDP EndPoints

UDP endpoints would allow for full RTP/RTCP/RTSP media streaming implementations as well custom protocols for game systems.

        I'm maklng a multiplayer game for WP7 and I really need UDP for it.

        There are numerous applications that are begging for an azure adoption that can not happen because azure blocks public udp endpoints. Guess its EC2 for me... they have no problem supporting udp.

        UDP is necessary for a LOB application I need to host, without UDP endpoint access I'm going to host it with someone else. Additionally I need multiple port ranges of 100 ports open, this also prevents me from using azure

        UDP ports are necessary to deploy a RADIUS server.

        The lack of udp is the only foreseeable limitation to migrating our game server over to azure. Please make it happen!

        We need it to communicate with some remote devices native implementations.

        Lack of UDP is preventing a whole range of apps from being implemented. It would be very helpful to at least get some indication of whether this is even being considered as a feature so we can plan accordingly.

        We cannot use Microsoft's Load Testing Tools effectively without UDP enabled. The Test Controller uses this protocol to collect data from the system under test. The system we are attempting to load test is running in Azure and we are not able to collect performance data from that instance because of this.

        for example if you want to query a ntp server, thats only support udp

        A lot of applications require UDP . Why Azure Don't Support It ?

        Want to migrate to Windows Azure but must have UDP for faster communications with our game and other servers. Please implement this at least in a simple case, i.e. only to VM roles and without load balalncing (which we don't use) - just want the communication capability. Thanks !

        Our suite of products use a UDP. We can't deploy our solution into an environment where UDP isn't supported.

        There are still multiple applications that we manage that require UDP transaction flow. We will migrate over to Azure once UDP is supported.
