DoD Message Protocol Report. Volume II. Message Transfer Protocol Requirements Analysis.

Abstract

This document discusses requirements to be met by implementations of the DoD standard message transfer protocol. The protocol is intended to coordinate message transfer over networks. The requirements herein describe a minimum set of capabilities needed to allow application entities to exchange message on a non-real-time basis. DoD objectives are reviewed in Section 1. Section 2 describes the architectural context; sections 3 and 4 describe requirements of the upper layer interface and of the protocol's processing capabilities. Section 5 discusses future requirements for extending message service capabilities. Appendices provide discussions of security, name service, and existing systems. (Author)
