I believe it runs over both TCP an UDP.  UDP being the preferred (IMHO)
transport layer when it running across a reliable LAN.

I can't say why the wiki article doesn't mention this, particularly
since TCP support came *after* UDP support...  I believe you use the
'udp' mount option for this.

The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.
