This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol (ECTP),
which is a transport protocol designed to support Internet multicast applications over multicast-capable IP networks.
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the ECTP for the simplex multicast transport connection that

procedures for the following protocol operations:
