We could simply use an ACK. A node could keep track of how long ACKs normally take, and timeout after twice the average ACK response time, falling back to TCP and noting not to try to talk to that node using UDP again. This would be better than having a one-size-fits-all timeout. Clearly, if the initial message is not correctly signed, no ACK will be sent.
