RFC-908, dating from way back in 1984, is a good example. Essentially, RDP (reliable data protocol) was proposed as a transport layer protocol; it was positioned in the stack as a peer to UDP and TCP.

The two most common transport layer protocols are the transmission control protocol (TCP) and the user datagram protocol (UDP). One of the main differences between the two protocols is reliability.

Part 1 of this article looks at low-level communications protocols, including PPP and Ethernet, and their specific security features and requirements.] Now that we have discussed the lower-level ...

Here's a pretty interesting experiment by someone curious if it was possible to implement a new transport layer protocol, basically something totally different than the existing few than everything ...

I like to think of the transport layer as the layer of the OSI Model that enables more interesting traffic. While we network engineers may love a lot of the simpler uses of the IP protocol and ...

In the past we considered transport protocols such as RTP (Real-time Protocol), ABR (Adaptive Bit Rate), SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet), SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), QUIC (Quick ...

All too often we shy away from the depths of IP protocols, leaving the application vendors such as Microsoft; Wowza Media Systems, LLC; RealNetworks, Inc.; Adobe Systems, Inc.; and others with more ...
