Features of the Transport and Session Protocols. Draft Report

摘要

The National Bureau of Standards, Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology (ICST), has initiated a program to develop computer network protocol standards as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). This is one of a series of draft reports prepared under the network protocol standards program for distribution to government agencies, voluntary standards organizations, computer and communications equipment manufaturers, and other interested parties. The draft report analyses protocol features as a method of determining the kernel set of essential features of a protocol along with the clusters of value-added features which will support various application categories.
