A Preconnection object (<xref target="pre-establishment"/>) represents a set ofpropertiesProperties and constraints on the selection and configuration of paths and protocols to establish a Connection with an Endpoint. A Connection object represents an instance of a transport Protocol Stack on which data can be sent to and/or received from a Remote Endpoint (i.e., a logical connection that, depending on the kind of transport, can bebi-directionalbidirectional or unidirectional, and that can use a stream protocol or a datagram protocol). Connections are presented consistently to the application, irrespective of whether the underlying transport isconnection-lessconnectionless orconnection-oriented.connection oriented. Connections can be created from Preconnections in three ways:</t> <ul spacing="normal"> <li><t>by initiating<t>initiating the Preconnection (i.e., creating a Connection from the Preconnection, actively opening, as in a client; seeInitiate()<tt>Initiate</tt> in <xref target="initiate"/>),</t> </li> <li><t>by listening<t>listening on the Preconnection (i.e., creating a Listener based on the Preconnection, passively opening, as in a server; seeListen()<tt>Listen</tt> in <xreftarget="listen"/>),</t>target="listen"/>), or</t> </li> <li><t>or by a<t>a rendezvous for the Preconnection (i.e.,peer to peerpeer-to-peer Connection establishment; seeRendezvous()<tt>Rendezvous</tt> in <xref target="rendezvous"/>).</t> </li> </ul> <t>Once a Connection is established, data can be sent and received on it in the form of Messages. The API supports the preservation ofmessageMessage boundariesbothvia both explicit Protocol Stacksupport,support andviaapplication support through a Message Framer that findsmessageMessage boundaries in a stream. Messages are received asynchronously through event handlers registered by the application. Errors and other notifications also happen asynchronously on the Connection. It is not necessary for an application to handle all events; some events can have implementation-specific default handlers.</t> <t>The applicationSHOULD NOT<bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> assume that ignoring events (e.g., errors) is always safe.</t> <section anchor="usage-examples"> <name>Usage Examples</name> <t>The following usage examples illustrate how an application might use the Transport Services APIto:</t>to act as:</t> <ul spacing="normal"> <li><t>Act as a<t>a server, by listening for incoming Connections, receiving requests, and sendingresponses,responses; see <xref target="server-example"/>.</t> </li> <li><t>Act as a<t>a client, by connecting to a Remote Endpoint using <tt>Initiate</tt>, sending requests, and receivingresponses,responses; see <xref target="client-example"/>.</t> </li> <li><t>Act as a<t>a peer, by connecting to a Remote Endpoint usingRendezvous<tt>Rendezvous</tt> while simultaneously waiting for incoming Connections, sending Messages, and receivingMessages,Messages; see <xref target="peer-example"/>.</t> </li> </ul> <t>The examples in this section presume that a transport protocol is available between the Local and Remote Endpoints and that this protocol providesReliable Data Transfer, Preservationreliable data transfer, preservation ofData Ordering,data ordering, andPreservationpreservation of MessageBoundaries.boundaries.

The new Connection is actively opened, and it will locally send a <tt>Ready</tt> event or an <tt>EstablishmentError</tt> event. Calling <tt>Clone</tt> on any of these Connections adds another Connection to the Connection Group. Connections in a Connection Group share all Connection Properties except <tt>connPriority</tt> (see <xref target="conn-priority"/>), and these Connection Properties are entangled:Changingchanging one of the Connection Properties on one Connection in the Connection Group automatically changes the Connection Property for all others. For example, changing <tt>connTimeout</tt> (see <xref target="conn-timeout"/>) on one Connection in a Connection Group will automatically make the same change to this Connection Property for all other Connections in the Connection Group. Like all other Properties, <tt>connPriority</tt> is copied to the new Connection when calling <tt>Clone</tt>,butbut, in this case, a later change to the <tt>connPriority</tt> on one Connection does not change it on the other Connections in the same Connection Group.</t> <t>The optional <tt>connectionProperties</tt> parameter allows passing Transport Properties that control the behavior of the underlying stream or connection to be created, e.g., Protocol-specific Properties to request specific stream IDs for SCTP or QUIC.</t> <t>Message Properties set on a Connection also apply only to that Connection.</t> <t>A new Connection created by <tt>Clone</tt> can have a Message Framer assigned via the optional <tt>framer</tt> parameter of the <tt>Clone</tt> action.

Then, a cloned Connection has the same stack of Message Framers as the Connection from which they are cloned, but these Framers can internally maintain per-Connection state.</t> <t>It is also possible to check which Connections belong to the same Connection Group. Calling <tt>GroupedConnections</tt> on a specific Connection returns a set of all Connections in the same group.</t> <artwork><![CDATA[ []Connection := Connection.GroupedConnections() ]]></artwork> <t>Connections will belong to the same group if the application previously called <tt>Clone</tt>.

When <tt>Clone</tt> leads to the opening of multiple such connections, the Transport ServicessystemSystem will ensure consistency of Connection Properties by uniformly applying them to all underlying connections in a group. Even in such a case,there are possibilitiesit is possible for a Transport ServicessystemSystem to implement prioritization within a Connection Group (see <xref target="TCP-COUPLING"/> and <xreftarget="RFC8699"/>.</t>target="RFC8699"/>).</t> <t>Attempts to clone a Connection can result in a <tt>CloneError</tt>:</t> <artwork><![CDATA[ Connection -> CloneError<reason?> ]]></artwork> <t>A <tt>CloneError</tt> can also occur later, after <tt>Clone</tt> was successfully called.

Message Framers allowmessageMessage boundaries to be preserved when using a Connection object, even when using byte-stream transports. This is designed based on the fact that many of thecurrentapplication protocols in use at the time of writing evolved over TCP, which does not providemessageMessage boundarypreservation, and sincepreservation; because many of these protocols requiremessageMessage boundaries to function, eachapplication layerapplication-layer protocol has defined its own framing.</t> <t>To use a Message Framer, the application adds it to its Preconnection object.

Still, some information could be privacy sensitive because it might reveal usage characteristics and habits of the user of an application.</t> <t>Ofcoursecourse, any communication over a network reveals usage characteristics, because all packets, as well as their timing and size, are part of the network-visible wire image <xref target="RFC8546"/>. However, the selection of a protocol and its configuration also impacts which information is visible, potentially in clear text, and which other entities can access it. How Transport ServicessystemsSystems ought to choose protocols -- depending on the securitypropertiesProperties required -- is out of scopeoffor this specification, as it is limited to transport protocols. The choice of a security protocol can be informed by the survey provided in <xref target="RFC8922"/>.</t> <t>In most cases, information provided for protocol and path selection does not directly translate to information that can be observed by network devices on the path.

Diffserv is based on network nodes applying different forwarding treatments to packets whose IP headers are marked with different Diffserv Codepoints (DSCPs). WebRTC applications, as well as some conferencing applications, have begun using the Session Description Protocol (SDP) bundle negotiation mechanism to send multiple traffic streams with different QoS requirements using the same network 5-tuple. The results of using multiple DSCPs to obtain different QoS treatments within a single network 5-tuple have transport protocol interactions, particularly with congestion control functionality (e.g., reordering). In addition, DSCP markings may be changed or removed between the traffic source and destination.

Alternatively, packets forwarded by the LE PHB can be associated with a scavenger service class, i.e., they scavenge otherwise-unused resources only.

This information provides advice to the other end of the TCP connection to adapt its user timeout accordingly. Increasing the user timeouts on both ends of a TCP connection allows it to survive extended periods without end-to-end connectivity. Decreasing the user timeouts allows busy servers to explicitly notify their clients that they will maintain the connection state only for a short time without connectivity.
