@ -572,6 +572,13 @@ over UDP sockets.
Returns a new instance of the :class:`DatagramHandler` class intended to
communicate with a remote machine whose address is given by *host* and *port*.
.. note:: As UDP is not a streaming protocol, there is no persistent connection
between an instance of this handler and *host*. For this reason, when using a
network socket, a DNS lookup might have to be made each time an event is
logged, which can introduce some latency into the system. If this affects you,
you can do a lookup yourself and initialize this handler using the looked-up IP
address rather than the hostname.
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
If ``port`` is specified as ``None``, a Unix domain socket is created
using the value in ``host`` - otherwise, a UDP socket is created.
