As a rule of thumb UDP is better for reliable networks and TCP for unreliable ones. Generally LAN are reliable and WANs are unreliable(actually reliability depends on what your backbone is ).

Would just like to know as to whats the basis for your assumption that UDP is a better choice for reliable networks and if its a choice for such networks whats the benefits of doing so?.
Wanted to know how did you simulate WAN? applied rate-limiting or something?

We have a large WAN across the globe Chirag. As of now am working on the LAN part of the tests.
