1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

  • Article

This protocol is an extension of the TIP standard protocol, as specified in [RFC2371].

The following figure illustrates its relationship with other protocols:

  • MSDTC Connection Manager: Ole Tx Transaction protocol ([MS-DTCO]) provides an extensibility mechanism that enables plug in of custom protocol extensions. This protocol is an extension of the standard TIP standard protocol [RFC2371] and provides an implementation of a protocol extension to MSDTC Connection Manager: Ole Tx Transaction protocol ([MS-DTCO]).

  • The presence of the TIP, specified in [RFC2371] illustrates that TIP Extensions depends on TIP, especially TIP transaction managers.

  • The presence of TCP illustrates how this protocol relies on the session and connection transport infrastructure defined in the TCP protocol.
