Everything about UDP tracker
The UDP tracker protocol is a high-performance low-overhead BitTorrent tracker protocol. It uses the stateless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for data transmission instead of the HTTP protocol regular trackers use. The data is in a custom binary format instead of the standard bencode algorithm BitTorrent uses for most communication. Wikipedia →
