ncpfs and TCP vs UDP

Hi Petr,

I was hoping you could give me some input on another concern I have.
Which of TCP and UDP is the preferred transport for NCP? The client for
Windows seems to use TCP, which would suggest that that is the most
tested dialect. I also did a quick test with bonnie++:

UDP:

Version  1.03 -----Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random-

TCP:

TCP has roughly twice the throughput of UDP. Note that this was done
against a vmware machine that wasn't exactly maxing out the network.

Input welcome.
