.SH DESCRIPTION
This is an implementation of the Lightweight User Datagram Protocol
(UDP-Lite), as described in RFC\ 3828.
-.PP
+.P
UDP-Lite is an extension of UDP (RFC\ 768) to support variable-length
checksums.
This has advantages for some types of multimedia transport that
may be able to make use of slightly damaged datagrams,
rather than having them discarded by lower-layer protocols.
-.PP
+.P
The variable-length checksum coverage is set via a
.BR setsockopt (2)
option.
If this option is not set, the only difference from UDP is
in using a different IP protocol identifier (IANA number 136).

The UDP-Lite implementation is a full extension of
