Of course, there are places where UDP is blocked, in which case UDP applications will try tunneling over HTTPS. But in the vast majority of consumer networks, these applications use UDP just fine.

Thanks Cristian for the datapoint. I think enterprise numbers are different (I am assuming that Skype and X-box are not typically enterprise applications). But it shows that most home equipment work with this approach, and nothing in the middle on the big dark ans scary Internet breaks UDP. That is very useful information.

So the remaining problem seems to be enterprise networks and the fears of opening up UDP. And hopefully something SPUD like can help with that.
