XADM: Microsoft Exchange TP4 Transport Stack

• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5

SUMMARY

TP4 is an OSI (Open Systems Interconnect) connection-oriented protocol used with a Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP). TP4 includes the following features:

• Uses CLNP network service provider based on ISO 8348



• Provides guaranteed reliable delivery of packets using sequence numbers



• Ensures data integrity by using checksums



• Re-transmits corrupted or lost packets



• Similiar to TCP

MORE INFORMATION

To install the TP4 protocol, copy all the platform-specific files under the TP4SETUP directory to your hard drive. In Control Panel Network, click Add Software. For Network Software, select "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer" (without quotes) and specify the location of the T4 protocol files.

One way to troubleshoot a TP4 connectivity problem is to use a network analyzer, such as a Network General Sniffer. Microsoft Network Monitor currently does not include a TP4 parser. However, a TP4 capture is displayed as LLC frames, which can be used to diagnose any problem. No TP4 Ping utilities are included on the Exchange Server 4.0 compact disc.
