Use Scenarios
UDT is widely used in high performance computing area to support high speed data transfer over optical networks. For example, GridFTP, a popular data transfer tool in grid computing, uses UDT as its data transfer protocol.
Over the commodity Internet, UDT has been used in many commercial products for fast file transfer over wide area networks.
Because UDT is purely based on UDP, it has also been used in many situations where TCP is at a disadvantage to UDP. These scenarios include Peer-to-Peer applications, video/audio communication and many others.

Famous quotes containing the word scenarios:
“The taste for worst-case scenarios reflects the need to master fear of what is felt to be uncontrollable. It also expresses an imaginative complicity with disaster.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
