Technical Summary
The Transport Services system enables applications to use transport
protocols flexibly for network communication and defines a protocol-
independent Transport Services Application Programming Interface
(API) that is based on an asynchronous, event-driven interaction
pattern. This document serves as a guide to implementation on how to
build such a system.
Working Group Summary
This document reached broad agreement, with contributions from most active WG
members.
Document Quality
This document gives implementation guidelines for the Transport Services
reference architecture and API describe in the -arch and -interface drafts; it
reflects experience gained in one widely deployed production implementation
and two open implementations deployed for research purposes, as listed in
Appendix C.
