RFC 3828: The Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6335. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite), which is similar to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) (RFC 768), but can also serve applications in error-prone network environments that prefer to have partially damaged payloads delivered rather than discarded. If this feature is not used, UDP-Lite is semantically identical to UDP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
