Services provided by IETF transport protocols and congestion control
mechanisms
draft-ietf-taps-transports-12
Abstract
This document describes, surveys, classifies and compares the
protocol mechanisms provided by existing IETF protocols, as
background for determining a common set of transport services. It
examines the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Multipath TCP, the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), UDP-Lite, the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol
(DCCP), the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), the Realtime
Transport Protocol (RTP), File Delivery over Unidirectional
Transport/Asynchronous Layered Coding Reliable Multicast (FLUTE/ALC),
and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM), Transport Layer Security
(TLS), Datagram TLS (DTLS), and the Hypertext Transport Protocol
(HTTP), when HTTP is used as a pseudotransport. This survey provides
background for the definition of transport services within the TAPS
working group.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
