Udt is a reliable udp based application level data transport protocol for distributed data intensive applications over wide area high-speed networks. udt uses udp to transfer bulk data with its own reliability control and congestion control mechanisms. the new protocol can transfer data at a much higher speed than tcp does. udt is also a highly configurable framework that can accommodate various congestion control algorithms.

install this package if you wish to develop your own programs using the udp-based data transfer protocol library.
