Title: Extending TCP for Transactions -- Concepts
Author(s): R. Braden.
Status: INFORMATIONAL
Date: Nov 1992
Length: 91353
Updated by: RFC1644
This memo discusses extension of TCP to provide transaction-oriented service, without altering its virtual-circuit operation. This extension would fill the large gap between connection-oriented TCP and datagram-based UDP, allowing TCP to efficiently perform many applications for which UDP is currently used. A separate memo contains a detailed functional specification for this proposed extension.
