Reliable User Datagram Protocol

Reliable User Datagram Protocol

In computer networking, the Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) is a transport layer protocol designed at Bell Labs for the Plan 9 operating system. It aims to provide a solution where UDP is too primitive because guaranteed-order packet delivery is desirable, but TCP adds too much complexity/overhead.

It extends UDP by adding the following additional features:
# Acknowledgment of received packets
# Windowing and congestion control
# Retransmission of lost packets
# Overbuffering (Faster than real-time streaming)

RUDP is not currently a formal standard, however it was described in an IETF [http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/99mar/I-D/draft-ietf-sigtran-reliable-udp-00.txt internet-draft] in 1999. It has not been proposed for standardization.

Microsoft R-UDP

Microsoft has introduced another protocol they refer to as R-UDP. It is used in their MediaRoom product for IPTV service delivery over multicast networks. This is a proprietary protocol and very little is known about its operation. It is not thought to be based on the above referenced IETF draft.
