 Mode of transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mode of transport (or means of transport or transport mode or transport modality or form of transport) is a general term for the different kinds of transport facilities that are often used to transport people or cargo.
Where more than one mode of transport is used for a journey, or for transport analysis, the journey can be described as multi-modal.
Worldwide, the most widely used modes for passenger transport are the Automobile (16,000 bn passenger km), followed by Buses (7,000), Air (2,800), Railways (1,900), and Urban Rail (250) [1].

 Transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another.
Infrastructure includes the transport networks (roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and seaports).
Other environmental impacts of transport systems include traffic congestion, toxic runoff from roads and parking lots that can pollute water supplies and aquatic ecosystems, and automobile-oriented urban sprawl, which can consume natural habitat and agricultural lands.

 RFC 3884 (rfc3884) - Use of IPsec Transport Mode for Dynamic Routing
Transport mode is allowed between two end hosts only; tunnel mode is required when at least one of the endpoints is a "security gateway" (intermediate system that implements IPsec functionality, e.g., a router.) IPsec can be used to secure the links of a virtual network (VN), creating a secure VN.
Transport mode secures portions of the existing IP header and the payload data of the packet, and inserts an IPsec header between the IP header and the payload; tunnel mode adds an additional IP header before performing similar operations.
Transport mode SAs are prohibited, because they would not result in IP encapsulation (the encapsulation header is part of the tunnel mode SA, a transport mode SA would not cause encapsulation), and thus lead to processing loops.

Use of IPsec transport mode in IIPtran can do similar checks of the inner packet, as if it were a transport header, and drop the packet if it violates a specified value or range.
IPsec requires that upon receiving a packet, the SPI is indexed in the SAD to determine whether the association is tunnel mode or transport mode.
