UDP. It is the simplest solution that is proactive.

What are the prospects for ipv6 UDP not suffering the same fate?

Roughly 0%, but there's so little v6 traffic compared to v4, you probably don't have to worry about v6 attack traffic yet...particularly if you're not dual stack yet. :)

I understand that your answer about nil IPv6 traffic may be appropriate for your network, but for many of us IPv6 is currently a non-trivial amount of traffic that is growing quickly. And, in some cases, IPv6 is the dominate amount of traffic. Here are some quick stats of a few select familiar names from http://www.worldipv6launch.org/measurements/ Google Fiber 70% Virginia Tech 61% Verizon Wireless 40% Comcast 20% AT&T Wireline 15% T-Mobile US 6%
