Transport Features of the User Datagram Protocol and Lightweight UDP
RFC 8304, “Transport Features of the User Datagram Protocol and Lightweight UDP”, is an Informational document published in February 2018 by G. Fairhurst, T. Jones. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This is an informational document that describes the transport protocol interface primitives provided by the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite) transport protocols. It identifies the datagram services exposed to applications and how an application can configure and use the features offered by the Internet datagram transport service. RFC 8303 documents the usage of transport features provided by IETF transport protocols, describing the way UDP, UDP-Lite, and other transport protocols expose their services to applications and how an application can configure and use the features that make up these services. This document provides input to and context for that document, as well as offers a road map to documentation that may help users of the UDP and UDP-Lite protocols.
