RUDP (Reliable User Datagram Protocol)

RUDP, or Reliable User Datagram Protocol, is a data transmission method that combines the speed of traditional UDP (User Datagram Protocol) with added features to ensure data arrives correctly. Unlike standard UDP, which sends data without confirming receipt, RUDP includes mechanisms like acknowledgments and retransmissions to guarantee that messages reach their destination intact, even over unreliable networks. It's useful in situations requiring both efficient, low-latency communication and reliable delivery, such as live streaming, online gaming, or real-time data transfer, balancing speed with dependability.
