RUDP

RUDP, or Reliable User Datagram Protocol, is a method for sending data over the internet that combines the speed of a simple message system with mechanisms to ensure the data arrives correctly. Unlike basic protocols that risk data loss or disorder, RUDP adds features like message acknowledgment and error checking. This makes it suitable for real-time applications that need quick communication with some guarantee of accuracy, such as video streaming or online gaming, while still maintaining lower latency than traditional reliable protocols. Essentially, RUDP aims to balance speed and reliability for efficient data transfer.
