Unity Transport Package is a netcode-agnostic library that provides a low-level network layer focused on performance and reliability – a modern, secure, and portable transport library that extends the conventional UDP with advanced features such as support for the Unity Relay service, UnityTLS, and pipelines among others.
Both Netcode for GameObjects and Netcode for Entities rely by default on UTP as a transport. However, developers looking to keep fine-grain control over the network can use UTP as a standalone library.
