The Lightweight User Datagram Protocol
RFC 3828, “The Lightweight User Datagram Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2004 by L-A. Larzon, M. Degermark, S. Pink, L-E. Jonsson, G. Fairhurst. It has since been updated by RFC 6335. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite), which is similar to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) (RFC 768), but can also serve applications in error-prone network environments that prefer to have partially damaged payloads delivered rather than discarded. If this feature is not used, UDP-Lite is semantically identical to UDP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
