Introduction

Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is an unreliable, connection
oriented protocol designed to solve issues present in UDP and TCP, particularly
for real-time and multimedia (streaming) traffic.

Missing features

The Linux DCCP implementation does not currently support all the features that are
specified in RFCs 4340...42.

DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of

Works as in udp(7): returns in the `int' argument pointer the size of
the next pending datagram in bytes, or 0 when no datagram is pending.

+Per-route rto_min support
+ CCID-2 supports the RTAX_RTO_MIN per-route setting for the minimum value
+ of the RTO timer. This setting can be modified via the 'rto_min' option
+ of iproute2; for example:
+ > ip route change 10.0.0.0/24 rto_min 250j dev wlan0
+ > ip route add 10.0.0.254/32 rto_min 800j dev wlan0

Notes
=====
-
DCCP does not travel through NAT successfully at present on many boxes. This is
because the checksum covers the pseudo-header as per TCP and UDP. Linux NAT
support for DCCP has been added.
