Development
µTP emerged from research at Internet2 on QoS and high-performance bulk transport, was adapted for use as a background transport protocol by Plicto, which was acquired by BitTorrent, Inc. in 2006, and further developed within its new owner. It was first introduced in the µTorrent 1.8.x beta branches, and publicized in the alpha builds of µTorrent 1.9.
The implementation of µTP used in µTorrent was later separated into the "libutp" library and published under the MIT license.
The first free software client to implement µTP was KTorrent 4.0. libtorrent implements µTP since version 0.16.0 and it's used in qBittorrent since 2.8.0. Tixati implements µTP since version 1.72. Vuze (formerly Azureus) implements µTP since version 4.5.0.5. Transmission implements µTP since version 2.30.

“And then ... he flung open the door of my compartment, and ushered in “Ma young and lovely lady!” I muttered to myself with some bitterness. “And this is, of course, the opening scene of Vol. I. She is the Heroine. And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
