So I didn't push it so far. I second this, but also think that it will see some initial resistance. I guess the main complaint (assuming code is in good shale) will be that UDP does not have any sender verification, which means it's very easy to flood the kernel with UDP "connection requests". But on the other hand there is also no SYN_RECV or FIN_WAIT/TIME_WAIT states which may hold up things beyond CPU processing speed so this is not by far as big problem to deal with as in the TCP case..
