Using TCP instead of UDP could be of great interest, especially in a HPC context where thousands of clients will operate at the same time. If a nfs mount point is made over udp, what would be the side effects ? I tried to run the connectathon on such a udp based mount point and I could find no errors. Is NFSv4/UDP a suitable solution ? Or does it make no sense to use udp ?


You might find that some implementations have UDP disabled and it might then make
it hard to triage what is going on.

I believe both NetApp's OnTap and Oracle's Solaris have it turned off.
