DCCP, short for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol,
is a minimal general purpose transport-layer protocol
that minimizes the overhead of packet header
size or end-node processing as much as possible. DCCP
provides the establishment, maintenance and teardown of an unreliable packet
flow, as well as the congestion control of that packet flow. [Adapted from
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (dccp)]
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a transport protocol that implements bidirectional, unicast connections of congestion-controlled, unreliable datagrams.

Linux gets DCCP Like UDP, DCCP is a datagram protocol. It differs from UDP, however, in that it includes a congestion control mechanism. Eventually, it is hoped that users of high-bandwidth, datagram-oriented protocols will move over to DCCP as a way of getting better network utilization while being fair to the net as a whole.
