I'd hate to think that NetOps would be so heavy handed in blocking all of UDP, as this would essentially halt quite a bit of audio/video traffic. That being said, there's still quite the need for protocol improvement when making use of UDP, but blocking UDP as a whole is definitely not a resolution, and simply creating a wall that not only keeps the abusive traffic out, but keeps legitimate traffic from flowing freely as it should.
