Abstract

This document is a revision to STD35, RFC1006^std35 written by Marshall T. Rose and Dwight E. Cass. Since the release of RFC1006^std35 in May 1987, much experience has been gained in using ISO transport services on top of TCP. This document refines the protocol and will eventually supersede RFC1006^std35.

This document describes the mechanism to allow ISO Transport Services to run over TCP over IPv4 or IPv6. It also defines a number of new features, which are not provided in RFC1006^std35.

The goal of this version is to minimise the number of changes to RFC1006^std35 and ISO 8073 transport protocol definitions, while maximising performance, extending its applicability and protecting the installed base of RFC1006^std35 users.
