Datagram Congestion Control Protocol

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. [Adapted from Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (dccp)]
