TCP (transmission control protocol)
TDI (transport driver interface)
TDI is a native Windows NT interface between a client and a transport driver. The LAN Manager redirector and server, Windows Sockets, and other NetBIOS interface libraries use TDI.
A driver providing transport layer services to clients with connection-oriented, error-free, end-to-end delivery of data. Optionally, a TDI driver can provide a connectionless mode of data transfer, using a special TSDU called a datagram.
Memory descriptor associated with a TDI client or driver.
TEB (thread environment block)
TLI (transport layer interface)
TPCTL (test protocol control program)
This NDIS 3.0 netcard driver tester program runs in the Win32 user mode to provide a visual and control interface.
TPDIFF (test protocol differences program)
This NDIS 3.0 netcard driver program runs in Win32 user mode to compare log files for a test run with validation logs prepared at installation.
TPDRVR (test protocol driver program)
This NDIS 3.0 netcard driver tester program runs in the kernel mode to simulate an NDIS 3.0 transport driver for testing.
TPI (transport provider interface)
A variable-length string identifying a local or remote node address object. A transport address includes any necessary network layer addressing information. The syntax and semantics of a transport address are transport driver-specific.
A driver generating and responding to higher protocols encapsulated by the netcard driver. A transport driver provides a variety of functions, including bridging. The TDI driver and Windows NT STREAMS transports are examples of transport drivers that execute under Windows NT.
TSAP (transport service access point)
TSDU (transport service data unit)
A TSDU is a unit of data transfer at the TDI level, either a message or a segment of a stream. The TDI client issues send or send datagram requests to send a TSDU. Some transport drivers cannot support message-oriented TSDUs and must use a stream transmission mode instead.
