UDP socket open/close status

Like TCP socket is there any way to identify the socket status for UDP .(Whether it's opened or closed).

    UDP connections are in themselves not stateful connections, but rather stateless. There are several reasons why, mainly because they don't contain any connection establishment or connection closing; most of all they lack sequencing. Receiving two UDP datagrams in a specific order does not say anything about the order in which they were sent. It is, however, still possible to set states on the connections within the kernel.

    It depends of the UDP service. It should support some sort of "ping" if you want check availability.
