[OPSEC] draft-byrne-opsec-udp-advisory

[Ca By <[e-mail]>]

Op sec,

Given the number of udp related developments, I created this I-d to express
concern  about further udp work and expound on some operational practices
that conflict with udp growth.

Your feedback is welcome.

Abstract:
  User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is commonly used as a volumetric attack
  transport on the internet.  Some network operators experience surges
  of UDP attack traffic that are multiple orders of magnitude above the
  baseline traffic rate for UDP.  Application developers should be
  advised that UDP is being rate-limited on a bits-per-second and
  packet-per-second basis by network operators to enforce known good
  baseline traffic levels for UDP. UDP has been abused to such an
  extent that legitimate use may become collateral damage and
  application and protocol developers should avoid using UDP as a
  transport when possible.
