UDP Data Transport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UDT stands for UDP Data Transport. It is a protocol developed by the National Center for Data Mining (NCDM) at University of Illinois at Chicago. The protocol was designed to sit on top of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to facilitate large data transfers over modern high-speed fiber optic computer networks. In October, 2003 the NCDM achieved a 6.8 gigabits per second transfer from Chicago, USA to Amsterdam, Netherlands. During the 30-minute test they transmitted approximately 1.4 terabytes of data.
