| | RFC 955 (rfc955) - Towards a transport service for transaction processing |

 | | RFC 955 September 1985 Transaction Protocol * Minimum Number of Packets in Simple Cases In the simplest case (small messages, no packet losses, and the interval between requests and replies between the same pair of addressable entities shorter than applicable timeouts), a simple two-packet exchange should result. |
