TCP and IP Service Users
TCP is the layer or service between IP, at the lower layer in the hierarchy of
network protocols, and programs running at higher layers in the hierarchy.
Figure 1-1 shows a simple network architecture with four users of TCP/IP
services: the Data Link Switching Service (DLSw), Telnet, FTP, and the Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Figure 1-1. TCP between IP and Clients
The interface between TCP and programs that use TCP consists of a set of
messages exchanged between the clients and TCP, and a set of functions and
macros that user programs call to exchange TCP messages. These programs use
the functions and macros to
• Open, close, abort, and get the status of connections
• Control the flow of data
• Encapsulate data for TCP to transmit
• Process received TCP data
When a program passes data to TCP, the TCP layer formats the data and calls on
the IP layer to transmit the data to its destination.
For information on creating TCP on the router and editing TCP parameters, refer
to “Configuring and Customizing TCP” in Chapter 3.
