An Abstract Application Layer Interface to Transport Services
draft-ietf-taps-interface-03
Abstract
This document describes an abstract programming interface to the
transport layer, following the Transport Services Architecture. It
supports the asynchronous, atomic transmission of messages over
transport protocols and network paths dynamically selected at
runtime. It is intended to replace the traditional BSD sockets API
as the lowest common denominator interface to the transport layer, in
an environment where endpoints have multiple interfaces and potential
transport protocols to select from.
