DTLNK
DTLNK is a network protocol and interface specification designed for efficient, low-latency data transfer between distributed systems. It defines message framing, multiplexing, flow control, and optional reliability features to support real-time and near-real-time applications across heterogeneous networks.
Conceived in the 2010s, DTLNK was developed to address limitations of traditional transport layers when used
Architecturally, DTLNK separates session management from transport, allowing implementations to operate over TCP, UDP, QUIC, or
Implementations of DTLNK are available as open-source libraries and commercial stacks, and the protocol has been
Criticism of DTLNK centers on fragmentation between competing implementations and the learning curve for teams accustomed
