Title : Advisory Guidelines for UDP Deployment

Abstract:
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is commonly used as a volumetric attack
transport on the internet. Some network operators experience surges
of UDP attack traffic that are multiple orders of magnitude above the
baseline traffic rate for UDP. Application developers should be
advised that UDP is being rate-limited on a bits-per-second and
packet-per-second basis by network operators to enforce known good
baseline traffic levels for UDP. UDP has been abused to such an
extent that legitimate use may become collateral damage and
application and protocol developers should avoid using UDP as a
transport when possible.
