Tunnel Setup Protocol

In computer networking, the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) is an experimental networking control protocol used to negotiate IP tunnel setup parameters between a tunnel client host and a tunnel broker server, the tunnel end-points.[1] A major use of TSP is in IPv6 transition mechanisms.

Parameter negotiation

[edit]

The TSP protocol performs negotiation of the following parameters:

TSP Session

[edit]

A TSP session is initiated by the TSP client in the goal of establishing an end-to-end tunnel with the TSP server (tunnel broker). The session consists of a basic exchange of XML-encoded data using TCP or UDP. After the negotiation of tunnel setup parameters, the session is terminated and the client undertakes the task of configuring its local tunnel endpoint.
