We started seeing signs of scale issues, like: Slowness during peak traffic moments like 12 AM UTC, leading to increased operational burden. At Netflix, the peak traffic load can be a few orders of magnitude higher than the average load. Hence, the system has to withstand bursts in traffic while still maintaining the SLO requirements.

For example, if the device is a firewall, it might be configured to block all traffic containing (unknown) extensions. In practice, UDP is mostly used for live traffic that updates at a high rate and thus suffers little from packet loss because missing data is quickly outdated anyway (examples include live video conferencing and gaming).
