Scalable Robust Alerting Protocol (SCRAP)
Emergency alerts need to be delivered reliably from one source to many recipients at once. TCP is unsuitable for this style of delivery, because the large number of acknowledgements would likely cause network congestion. This document defines a UDP-based protocol for delivering alerts that supports fragmentation and retransmission for reliability, and allows the sender of a datagram to control whether acknowledgements are sent.
