The reverse is true also! From TFA:

Nowadays, most NFS traffic is likely over TCP. But back in the day it was not. So dropping 1 frame out of 6 that comprise a packet, meant that you had to retransmit all 6. BTW this is why DNS has lots of compression and limits on UDP packet size before [compliant] implementations switch to TCP. NFS has no such provisions.
