It is also important to consider DDOS when evaluating protocols. TCP has an advantage over UDP because data cannot be spoofed. There are many ddos protection services that will protect against spoofed TCP connections (SYN floods). Applications must implement their own 3 way handshake in UDP in order to avoid these problems. Many applications did not do this which is why COD servers ended up being a source of attack traffic themselves.
