4. If there is possible compensate completely UDP? 

If you mean will UDP be replaced by DCCP I think the answer is no. I
think UDP will still be used for short transfers of data e.g. DNS
where you don't need/want a session. Most of the other uses for UDP
could be replaced and the Internet/networks would benefit from
congestion control in my opinion.

Do not also forget that UDP can be used with Multicast, were DCCP can't.
