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
This protocol is available for Microsoft Windows NT Server on the Microsoft
Exchange Server version 4.0 compact disc in the \TP4SETUP directory.
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.
