RFC 4340: Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 5595, RFC 5596, RFC 6335, RFC 6773. Read both.

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

The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams. DCCP is suitable for applications that transfer fairly large amounts of data and that can benefit from control over the tradeoff between timeliness and reliability. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
