Transaction Internet Protocol Version 3.0

Overview

RFC 2371, “Transaction Internet Protocol Version 3.0”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 1998 by J. Lyon, K. Evans, J. Klein. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

In many applications where different nodes cooperate on some work, there is a need to guarantee that the work happens atomically. That is, each node must reach the same conclusion as to whether the work is to be completed, even in the face of failures. This document proposes a simple, easily-implemented protocol for achieving this end. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
