This document describes, surveys, and classifies 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 Real-Time Transport
Protocol (RTP), File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport /
Asynchronous Layered Coding (FLUTE/ALC) for Reliable Multicast, 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.
This document is a product of the Transport Services Working Group of the IETF.
