[Tox Support] [Support] UDP or TCP for traffic-saving?

[Jfreegman]

To clarify some more, UDP mode uses significantly more bandwidth than 
TCP-only mode overall, however this is mostly due to DHT traffic. TCP 
packets are obviously a little bigger than UDP packets, meaning a video 
conversation with TCP will use a bit more bandwidth than with UDP if 
you disregard DHT traffic. The difference is probably trivial though - 
if saving bandwidth is your primary concern you should be forcing a TCP 
connection.
