I'd hate to think that NetOps would be so heavy handed in blocking
all of UDP, as this would essentially halt quite a bit of audio/video
traffic. That being said, there's still quite the need for protocol
improvement when making use of UDP, but blocking UDP as a whole is
definitely not a resolution, and simply creating a wall that not only
keeps the abusive traffic out, but keeps legitimate traffic from
flowing freely as it should.
