DCCP, short for
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol,
is a minimal general purpose transport-layer
protocol
that minimizes the overhead of
packet header
size or end-
node processing as much as possible. DCCP
provides the establishment, maintenance and teardown of an unreliable packet
flow, as well as the congestion control of that packet flow.
