As I'm sure you're aware, UDP packets try to find the fastest route through the network ..

So what do TCP packets do then ? find the slowest ? The're both IP packets ....... |
Actually, if I remember my Cisco training, exactly what route IP packets take through the network can be governed by many things (speed and cost being two). However, you are right, It doesn't matter whether a packet is TCP or UDP, it still follows the same routing rules.

It's also worth noting that most of the streams from NTL's Broadband Plus package may not work properly without UDP.
