Maybe that would be enough, maybe more changes would be needed, I cannot
exactly tell you. My main worries with UDP would be packet drops as
there is nothing guaranteeing you that the packets you send will arrive
at all to the other end of the connexion.

There would most likely be less overhead, but at the cost of not having
guarantees of packet delivery, so I'm not sure how good this tradeoff
would be..
Experimenting with this sounds interesting though!
