Future IrDA Standards

IrDA standards currently under development are:

• IR COMM which provides full emulation of three-wire, nine-wire, null modem, and parallel connections. The emulation sends the state information that is normally maintained by signals on the Carrier Detect (CD), Data Terminal Ready (DTR), Clear To Send (CTS), and other communication control lines.
• Tiny TP, which provides a tiny transport protocol to provide session-level flow control on a link.
• Object Exchange, which provides a protocol that transfers generic data objects (such as a business card or an address book entry) between applications running on different machines.
