AFAIK x2go or rather NX is using tcp, not UDP.

This bridge had some sort of networking problem where pings would normally take a few milliseconds, but every 30 seconds or so they would take over a second. I presumed that TCP/IP would take care of any missing/duplicated/re-ordered packets. Does x2go use UDP?
