sequence number attacks because UDP doesn't have sequence numbers.  To
the extent that RPC services are provided over TCP, they are vulnerable
to the sequence number attack.

But what TCP RPC services could you exploit without seeing return traffic?
The only ones that I could think of could be attacked *much* more
efficiently with UDP equivalents (since you can spoof UDP 100% of them
time but TCP sequence number guessing only a small fraction of the time).
