historical relic, and are no longer appropriate for either LAN or WAN
mounting.  At modern (gigabit and 10 gigabit) LAN speeds packet loss
from socket buffer fill events is common, and sequence numbers wrap
quickly enough that data corruption is possible.  TCP solves both of
these problems without imposing significant overhead.

The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for
increased reliability. If you rely on (insecurely) NFS
mounting across a firewall you may need to update your
firewall rules.

Use TCP transport instead of UDP.
This is recommended for servers that are not on the same LAN cable as
the client.
Not all NFS servers support this method, especially older ones;
caution should be observed in these cases.
Use TCP transport.
This is the default option, as it provides for increased reliability on both
LAN and WAN configurations compared to UDP.
Some old NFS servers do not support this method; UDP mounts may be required
for interoperability.

Force the mount protocol to use UDP transport, even for TCP NFS mounts.
