Transmission control protocol (TCP) is the predominant transport protocol used on the Internet. This entry inspects the behavior of TCP in wireless networks.

This document describes a Transport Model for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), that uses either the Transport Layer Security protocol or the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The TLS and DTLS protocols provide authentication and privacy services for SNMP applications. This document describes how the TLS Transport Model (TLSTM) implements the needed features of a S...

0163-6804/97/$10.00 © 1998 IEEE ulticast transport protocols have been a topic of intense research and development efforts over the past couple of years. Both the Internet Engineering and Internet Research Task Forces (IETF and IRTF) have been heavily involved in coordinating multicast transport protocol research, development, standardization, deployment, and technology transfer activities. Thi...

In this paper, we propose an improvement to the transport protocol performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) by exploiting the backoff algorithm of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. We are especially interested in the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) performance parameters like the throughput and end-to-end delay. This improvement is IB-MAC (Improvement of Backoff algorithm of MAC pro...

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) protocol has, until now, required the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the underlying transport layer. This document defines RADIUS over the Transmission Control Protocol (RADIUS/TCP), in order to address handling issues related to RADIUS over Transport Layer Security (RADIUS/TLS). It permits TCP to be used as a transport protocol for RADIUS...

Over the past few years, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has become the most widely used transport layer protocol on the Internet. TCP performs poorly however, if one of the communicating hosts is a mobile wireless computer [6]. One way to address this performance problem is to modify TCP to make it aware of host mobility. Such an approach is infeasible because of the sheer number of hosts ...

evidence acquisition this systematic review proposes a new triage system for patients exposed to nerve agents. information regarding clinical signs and symptoms of intoxication with nerve agents, primary treatments, and classification of patients were extracted from the literature. all related articles were reviewed. subsequently, specialists from different disciplines were invited to discuss a...

The Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol that has been designed to provide reliable transport over the Internet. While the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is the most popular transport protocol for the Internet, it falls short with regard to security, more specifically resilience to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, such as SYN attacks. The need for resilie...

TCP and UDP are the most popular transport protocols used for end-end data transmission. The rapid growth of internet leads to development of many innovative applications in the current environment. Depending on the functionality of these applications, requirements of transport protocols are changing. TCP is known for its problems with Head Of Line blocking (HOL) and SYN attacks which gives red...
