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.
