This is big of course. All the SIP/RTP stuff is largely UDP. Most P2P
control is via UDP. I think i did read somewhere on measurement taken
in backbones showing consistent rise of UDP:TCP ratio (need to search
my bookmarks). 
It borders on lunacy to assume TCP only. Time to get an open source NIC
out there and ignore these big players? ;->

cheers,
