Python with PowerShell Remoting (Windows equivalent for Unix ssh sessions)
# Note that target_env.login and target_env.password is global variables
# Maybe I should add this into Fabric project (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.4.2/index.html).
# This is complicated task for sure but it would be nice if Fabric could use ssh under Linux and PowerShell Remoting under Windows.

UDP Port Troubleshooting using netcat
Using the nc command you can scan a port or a range of ports to verify whether a UDP port is open and able to receive traffic.
This first command will scan all of the UDP ports from 1 to 65535 and add the results to a text file:
$ nc -vnzu server.ip.address.here 1-65535 > udp-scan-results.txt
This merely tells you that the UDP ports are open and receive traffic.
Perhaps a more revealing test would be to actually transfer a file using UDP.
