Advantages
One-to-one transport
- Reliability independent of flow/congestion control
- Speed over large distances and loss networks
- Predictable speedy control of data transport
- Global transport with local performance
One-to-many transport
- Reliability without feedback
- Ideal for one-way channels – wireless and satellite
- High/unknown/variable loss
- Massive scalability
- Ideal for broadcast/multicast network environments
- Ideal when receivers have intermittent connectivity
- Can be used as a background data transport
