Abstract

Transport protocols are extended through the use of transport header options. This document updates RFC 768 (UDP) by indicating the location, syntax, and semantics for UDP transport layer options within the surplus area after the end of the UDP user data but before the end of the IP datagram.


For the definition of Status, see RFC 2026.

For the definition of Stream, see RFC 8729.
