I dont know why more web servers are not using UDP by default and only go TCP when the client or content needs it. For example, sites like youtube - the videos must be streamed to us, why not the site itself? Only when I want the client to definitley know it sent data (a banking transaction, an amazon order) but for the vast majority of sites UDP bi-di should be fine.

Can you imagine the amount of bandwidth saved around the world in aggregate?

TCP should be restricted based on content classification.

UDP does not have congestion or flow control.
