0.   Introduction

        The Transport Protocol Standard is one of a set of International
Standards produced to facilitate the interconection of computer
systems.  The set of standards covers the services and protocols
required to achieve such interconnection.

        The Transport Protocol Standard is positioned with respect to
other related standards by the layers defined in the Reference Model
for Open Systems Interconnection (ISO 7498).  It is most closely
related to, and lies within the field of application of the Transport
