NAME

ASP (A Simple Protocol)

SPECIFICATION

L. Peterson and B. Davie. Computer Networks: A Systems Approach. Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Francisco, CA (1996).

SYNOPSIS

ASP is an example protocol that supports an unreleable message delivery service, where the two end-points of an ASP channel are identified by a pair of ports.

REALM

ASP is in the ASYNC realm.

PARTICIPANTS

ASP removes a pointer to a long (the ASP port number) from the participant stack. ASP ports must be less than 0x10000. If the local participant is missing, or if the local protocol number is ANY_PORT, ASP will select an unused local port.

CONFIGURATION

name=asp protocols=ip;
