OK, that's actually TCP throughput, rather than the throughput (for
example, read/write throughput) for the protocol running atop TCP.  It
includes all the TCP payload.

Well, assuming that a UDP stream could be identified (based on, for
example, source and destination ports and addresses, although with UDP
there's no guarantee that replies come from the same IP address or port
as the address and port to which the matching request was sent), yes, it
could be done.  It would, of course, not be DCE RPC throughput, or
AFS/RX throughput, it'd be raw UDP throughput.
