1.6 Applicability Statement

This protocol applies to scenarios where an LU 6.2 implementation (section 3.2) provides support for Sync Point Processing, and an implementation of the protocol described in [MS-DTCO] is available. It supports the coordination of LU 6.2 logical units of work with atomic transactions, and recovery from transient failure.

This protocol requires network topologies where the transports protocol described [MS-CMPO] and the multiplexing protocol described in [MS-CMP] constitute a viable network transport for establishing many short-lived connection exchanges that accomplish specific tasks.
