New so-called reliable UDP solutions offer an alternative to TCP. But are they worth the time or money to implement?

Over 300,000 internet systems running on UDP protocols are potential victims of the loop DoS attacks.

UDP’s (and QUIC’s) counterpart in the protocol world is basically TCP (which in combination with the Internet Protocol (IP) makes up the core communication language of the Internet).

The lesson there is that these botnet UDP communications often can easily hide among other UDP-based applications, especially video, which is proliferating in enterprise use.
