Well, what are the cases where a UDP transmission would fail, but a TCP
connection would succeed? Its not a firewall, as we'd already be on a
port that a firewall would probably block. If a hole is opened for it,
then one can just as easily open the UDP port. SCTP is a different case
altogether, as its not built ontop of UDP anyway.
How well can we disguise the fact that we're a freenet node over UDP?
