ATAGRAM
provides a datagram mode for packet-switched communications. It uses IP
UDP
as the underlying transport mechanism to provide access to IP-like services.
UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that
may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would
be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
