μTP
Micro Transport Protocol (μTP, sometimes uTP) is an open standard, open User Datagram Protocol-based (UDP-based) variant of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing, peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol (computing), protocol intended to mitigate poor network latency, latency and other network congestion#Congestion control, congestion control problems found in conventional BitTorrent over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), while providing reliable, ordered delivery. It was devised to automatically slow down the rate at which packets of data are transmitted between users of peer-to-peer file-sharing BitTorrent, torrents when it interferes with other applications. For example, the protocol should automatically allow the sharing of a Digital subscriber line, DSL line between a BitTorrent application and a web browser. Development μTP emerged from research at Internet2 on Quality of service, QoS and high-performance bulk transport, was adapted for use as a background transport prot ...

User Datagram Protocol
In computer networking, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core communication protocols of the Internet protocol suite used to send messages (transported as datagrams in Network packet, packets) to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Within an IP network, UDP does not require prior communication to set up communication channels or data paths. UDP is a connectionless protocol, meaning that messages are sent without negotiating a connection and that UDP does not keep track of what it has sent. UDP provides checksums for data integrity, and port numbers for addressing different functions at the source and destination of the datagram. It has no Handshake (computing), handshaking dialogues and thus exposes the user's program to any Reliability (computer networking), unreliability of the underlying network; there is no guarantee of delivery, ordering, or duplicate protection. If error-correction facilities are needed at the network interface level, an applica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
