Regardless of the kind of application you are building, there are many critical design decisions that you need to take during the very early stages of its development. If you are an application architect, there will be many a situation where you will have to choose from seemingly equal but drastically different alternatives. In such cases, you need to be familiar with all the options available to you to be assured of choosing the right one that suits your requirement.

The intent of this chapter is to take a look at the various transport protocols that you can use to build your P2P application. Choosing the right transport protocol might not necessarily dictate the success of your application, but it will be a very important factor.
