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, that was founded by [[Stanislav Shalunov]]<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 it was 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>[http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081201-utorrents-switch-to-udp-and-why-the-sky-isnt-falling.html µTorrent's switch to UDP and why the sky isn't falling]</ref><ref>[http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3807-utorrent-shifts-towards-udp-to-make-it-work-better.html uTorrent shifts towards UDP to make it work better]</ref>
The implementation of µTP used in µTorrent was later separated into the "libutp" library and published under the [[MIT license]].<ref>http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=76640</ref><ref>https://github.com/bittorrent/libutp</ref>
