Aug 3, 2015 at 1:22 comment added barlop @Rudi err, you should realize that is not the OSI reference model, and if you do realize that, then don't mislead people into thinking that it is. It's the TCP/IP model / architecture... Sometimes the TCP/IP architecture is described with the terminology of OSI, the OSI reference model. But the 4 layers shown and with those names, is very much TCP/IP not OSI. No issue with red's post but your comment is misleading at best.
Jul 20, 2012 at 15:37 comment added Stuart Blackler Take DCCP for example, it's still a new protocol but I imagine over the next few years you will see more applications use the protocol. Reason I don't think it's mainstream yet is because I don't believe there is support for it in Windows. Think of it as UDP with congestion control. Can be very handy for a lot of applications such as Skype and gaming :) Have a look at it. To answer your question, it's probably a very small amount at the moment

Jul 19, 2012 at 15:23 comment added RedGrittyBrick @StuartBlackler: Interesting point, thanks. Are there any (other than TCP & UDP) that don't fall into what I called the "vanishingly small specialist use" category and which are used over IP? If I measured IP traffic at an Internet Exchange Point, what proportion of the transport layer protocols would be anything other than TCP or UDP?
Jul 19, 2012 at 11:53 comment added Stuart Blackler There are more than 2 transport layer protocols: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_layer#Protocols
Jul 17, 2012 at 15:06 comment added Rudi Brought me all the way back to 1996 and the OSI Model en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model
