AFAICS, there is nothing at all in pg_standby that does IPC of any sort,
let alone UDP transmission in particular.  It just does filesystem
access.  Perhaps you're running on an NFS filesystem and the UDP traffic
is associated with that?  If so, though, any failure to collect packets
would be a bug in glibc, not pg_standby.

A different theory is that pg_standby is just the last surviving child
of some process that opened a UDP port and never closed it.  What is
spawning pg_standby in your system?
