HTTP over UDP for data intensive applications

Traditionally HTTP is running over TCP, which provides error control and flow control. However, its throughput is limited by TCP window mechanism. This makes HTTP over TCP ineffective for data-intensive applications (e.g., HTTP video streaming, etc). In this project, it is required to develop a prot...
