Xpress Transport Protocol
<networking, protocol> (XTP) A
transport layer protocol for high-speed networks promoted by the
XTP Forum.
XTP provides protocol options for error control,
flow control, and rate control.
Instead of separate protocols for each type of communication, XTP controls
packet exchange patterns to produce different models, e.g. reliable datagrams, transactions, unreliable
streams, and reliable multicast connections.

Contrast with
Transmission Control Protocol.
XTP does not employ
congestion avoidance algorithms.
