UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768. (UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. ) or using a peer-to-peer program, allowing others to access bandwidth and using insecure transmissions.
