I'd love to hear those reasons, given that UDP is simply a light wrapper on top of IP, and TCP is not only also IP underneath (so essentially equivalent except for the more complex transport protocol that it imposes) but also has numerous known issues (with that very transport protocol) with regard to security (session hijacking, SYN floods, RST attacks, etc.) > Security-wise using UDP for VoIP (or anything else) should be > subject of careful consideration. Security-wise using anything that transmits data outside of your head, or certainly outside of your computer, should be the subject of careful consideration.
