+### Large data transfer over lossy network
+
+Out of the box, Fast DDS uses UDPv4 for the data communication over the network.
+Although UDP has its own merit for realtime communications, with many applications relying on UDP, depending on application requirements, a more reliable network transmission may be needed.
+Such cases included but are not limited to sending large data samples over lossy networks, where TCP's builtin reliability and flow control tend to perform better.
+
+Because of this reason, Fast DDS provides the possibility to modify its builtin transports via an environmental variable `FASTDDS_BUILTIN_TRANSPORTS`, allowing for easily changing the transport layer to TCP when needed:
+
+```bash
+export FASTDDS_BUILTIN_TRANSPORTS=LARGE_DATA
+```
+
+This `LARGE_DATA` mode adds a TCP transport for data communication, restricting the use of the UDP transport to the first part of the discovery process, thus achieving a reliable transmission with automatic discovery capabilities.
+This will improve the transmission of large data samples over lossy networks.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The environmental variable needs to be set on both publisher and subscription side.
+
+For more information, please refer to [FASTDDS_BUILTIN_TRANSPORTS](https://fast-dds.docs.eprosima.com/en/latest/fastdds/env_vars/env_vars.html#fastdds-builtin-transports).
