This document describes how the transport protocols Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP), MultiPath TCP (MPTCP), Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and
Lightweight User Datagram Protocol (UDP-Lite) expose services to
applications and how an application can configure and use the
features that make up these services. It also discusses the service
provided by the Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT)
congestion control mechanism. The description results in a set of
transport abstractions that can be exported in a transport services
(TAPS) API.
This document is a product of the Transport Services Working Group of the IETF.
