Tixati implements μTP since version 1.72. libtorrent implements μTP since version 0.16.0 and it is used in qBittorrent since 2.8.0. The first free software client to implement μTP was KTorrent 4.0. The implementation of μTP used in μTorrent was later separated into the "libutp" library and published under the MIT license.
It was first introduced in the μTorrent 1.8.x beta branches, and publicized in the alpha builds of μTorrent 1.9. in 2006, and further developed within its new owner. ΜTP emerged from research at Internet2 on QoS and high-performance bulk transport, was adapted for use as a background transport protocol by Plicto, founded by Stanislav Shalunov and Ben Teitelbaum and later acquired by BitTorrent, Inc. For example, the protocol should automatically allow the sharing of an DSL line between a BitTorrent application and a web browser. It was devised to automatically slow down the rate at which packets of data are transmitted between users of peer-to-peer file sharing torrents when it interferes with other applications. Micro Transport Protocol or μTP (sometimes also uTP) is an open UDP-based variant of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing protocol intended to mitigate poor latency and other congestion control problems found in conventional BitTorrent over TCP, while providing reliable, ordered delivery.
