I don't think so.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol
"The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is being designed as
a partial solution to this potential problem by adding end host TCP-friendly 
congestion control behavior to high-rate UDP streams such as streaming media."

-so only a partial solution of a becoming less "potential" problem due to advances 
with codecs which will slow down excessive UDP traffic.

-most soho embedded routers and firewalls are based on very old linux kernels without DCCP-
support and the DCCP wikipedia article states not much implementations since years.

since 2006 university playground, but patches for Ekiga are welcome ;)
