μTP emerged from research at [[Internet2]] on [[Quality of service|QoS]] and high-performance [[bulk transport]], was adapted for use as a background transport protocol by Plicto, founded by [[Stanislav Shalunov]] and Ben Teitelbaum<ref>[http://www.fastcolabs.com/3014951/why-your-bittorrent-downloads-move-so-fast This Is How Your BitTorrent Downloads Move So Fast], Fastcolabs, 2013-07-29, Retrieved November 6, 2013</ref> and later acquired by [[BitTorrent (company)|BitTorrent, Inc.]] in 2006, and further developed within its new owner.<ref>http://www.slideshare.net/eCommConf/eric-klinker-presentation-at-emerging-communication-conference-awards-2010-america/11 uTP timeline, slide 11, "This Green Revolution-improving the yield of your network investment", eComm America Conference, San Francisco, CA, April 2010.</ref> It was first introduced in the μTorrent 1.8.x beta branches, and publicized in the alpha builds of [[μTorrent]] 1.9.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Beijnum|first=Iljitsch van|date=2008-12-02|title=?Torrent's switch to UDP and why the sky isn't falling|url=https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2008/12/utorrents-switch-to-udp-and-why-the-sky-isnt-falling/|access-date=2021-05-11|website=Ars Technica|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=uTorrent shifts towards UDP to make it work better|url=https://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3807-utorrent-shifts-towards-udp-to-make-it-work-better|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-11|website=www.thinkbroadband.com}}</ref>
The implementation of μTP used in μTorrent was later separated into the "libutp" library and published under the [[MIT license]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=76640 |title=

LEDBAT is described in {{IETF RFC|6817}}. As of 2009, the details of the μTP implementation were different from those of the then-current Internet Draft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.bittorrent.org/viewtopic.php?pid%3D753#p753 |title=Archived copy |access-date=November 15, 2009 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725080523/http://forum.bittorrent.org/viewtopic.php?pid=753 |archive-date=July 25, 2011 }}{{Full citation needed|date=December 2014}}</ref>
μTP also adds support for [[NAT traversal]] using [[UDP hole punching]] between two port-restricted peers where a third unrestricted peer acts as a [[STUN]] server.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id%3D49813 |title=
