>From nfs(5):

       tcp            Mount  the NFS filesystem using the TCP protocol instead
                      of the default UDP protocol.  Many NFS servers only sup‐
                      port UDP.

       udp            Mount  the  NFS filesystem using the UDP protocol.  This
                      is the default.

UDP has been the default NFS protocol, but recently (I don't know
when) it changed to TCP, without prior warning, and without any update
of the manual.

This is a major change of default behavior, and it isn't even
documented.
