If you're not on NANOG, I described what was done in a university environment I was at years ago: <https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2015-July/078010.html> While perhaps not on transit networks, some networks have UDP dropped by their upstream(s) or at their own "border", primarily as a means to mitigate all the UDP-based amplified reflection traffic they might otherwise have to carry. Its not very elegant perhaps, but it does happen and seemingly the trade-off some find to be worth it.
