No future for UDP?

These days I feel UDP is becoming a legacy.Could it have future, i.e. new and powerful application genre(s) in the high-bandwidth networking era?

Well, it may be becoming a legacy, but I don't think it will ever actually go away. Even if only because of stuff like DHCP, TFTP, and multicast (and many times NFS, although where I work this is being phased out in favor of NFS v4, which I believe is no longer UDP, for it's security features).

Edit: I stand corrected. NFS v4 (at least according to the RFC) should still work over UDP.

(a) UDP multicast has a huge future, and (b) many existing critical protocol such as DNS are built over UDP.
