Yes, because if we use a different protocol, any potential congestion will
magically disappear!
Isn't that protocol called DCCP? (per RFC 4340 and 5348)
It would be interesting and potentially feasible to outline MPLS over DCCP
(given a solid use case), but it would be one of the few (9) named application
bindings for this protocol today:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt
Of course, in order to get the protocols to pass legacy firewall inspection,
UDP encapsulation may be required, and companies would have to actually
implement the protocol...
