\newacronym[description={Rudimentary version of \gls{FTP} that is built on top of \gls{UDP}. The TFTP implements just the basics of file transfer like read and write. User authorization or directory listing is not provided. Because the protocol is built on top of an unreliable transport protocol a simple packet acknowledgment and checksum verification is used for error correction.}]{TFTP}{TFTP}{Trivial File Transfer Protocol}

\newacronym[description={Communication protocol located on the transport layer of the \gls{OSI} that provides a simple transmission model for packets without the overhead introduced by mechanisms for providing reliability, ordering, or data integrity, like handshaking dialogues. In \gls{UDP} the error detection and error correction is outsourced to higher layers like the application itself. Thus it is assumed that errors either have no influence for successfully processing the use--cases, or the correction is implemented inside of the application's using protocols.
