UDTP (Up/Down Transport Protocol) is a transport layer protocol that contains mechanisms for ensuring transmission quality with guaranteed delivery in packet-based networks with an explicitly organized connection. UDTP provides the following types of services for apps: * bandwidth allocation with transmission latency control; * ordered delivery of user data; * guaranteed data delivery; * asymmetrical (up/down) data transmission; * multiplexing / de-multiplexing of user data; * support of forward error correction in data transmission; * data encryption support during transmission; * data transfer support in the form of a file, stream or message; * resilience to failures and changes on the network level; * mobile users support; * support for multicast and broadcast connections on both sides; * no duplicates during data delivery; * real-time and time-insensitive data transfer support in a single communication channel. UDTP is an integrated part of IPv17 network model, which differs from the reference model of open systems interconnection (ITU X. 200).
