By default, `EXPOSE` assumes TCP. You can also specify UDP:
```Dockerfile
EXPOSE 80/udp
```
To expose on both TCP and UDP, include two lines:
```Dockerfile
EXPOSE 80/tcp
EXPOSE 80/udp
```
In this case, if you use `-P` with `docker run`, the port will be exposed once
for TCP and once for UDP. Remember that `-P` uses an ephemeral high-ordered host
port on the host, so the port will not be the same for TCP and UDP.
Regardless of the `EXPOSE` settings, you can override them at runtime by using
the `-p` flag. For example
```bash
docker run -p 80:80/tcp -p 80:80/udp ...
```
