    There’s nothing wrong with UDP. At least not that I know of.

        Not really a problem with UDP itself, but with some very old protocols like DNS that rely on UDP but can’t be changed because of compatibility. If you’re writing a new service that uses UDP, there’s nothing stopping you from designing it so that it doesn’t provide an opportunity for bandwidth amplification.

          It’s technically not a bug if it’s operating as intended
