<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.
