I tried this command on Debian 8.7. My conclusion is that this didn't
tell me that the UDP port is listened to by another machine. I used
your exact command, which had similarly uninformative results as
yours. There is no 10.31.x.x machine that I can reach, yet 'nc -u'
allowed me to send text to that address and port. Strace of 'nc -uz'
showed that the special -z option (zero i/o port scan) code "sent
successfully" a single byte to the destination, even though it doesn't
exist.

I conclude that "nc -uz" can't be used to determine unambiguously if a
UDP host is available, because it will succeed even if the host is not
present. And that carries to all systems that use the same 'nc'
utility as Debian or Cygwin.
