Abstract:TLI is a programming interface to the transport layer of ISO-OSI model,it supports the transfer of data between two user processes in network. TLI provides two modes of service for application and development;connection mode and connectionless mode. The former is appropriate for applications that requires relatively long-lived,datastream-oriented interactions; the latter is appropriate for application that involves short-term request/response interactions. In this paper,the auther discussed connetionless mode service of TLI and several problems that must be solved.
