micro Transport Protocol or uTP is a protocol based upon the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It aims to decrease latency caused by applications using the protocol while maximizing bandwidth when latency is not excessive[1]. Information from the transport can be used to control the transfer rate of TCP connections to prevent disruption of the used Internet connection.[2] uTP was first publicly introduced in the alpha builds of µTorrent 1.9, though partial support for the protocol was already implemented in the µTorrent 1.8.x branch.[3][4]
