Point-to-Point Transfers

Point-to-point transfers are those in which data is sent from a single initiator computer to a single responder computer. This type of transfer is the simplest, because data is only being sent once to a single destination. Point-to-point transfers include the following properties:

Point-to-Point Protocol

Specifies the communications protocol to use during the point-to-point transfer.

Point-to-Point Address

Specifies the address to use for a point-to-point transfer to this machine.

Point-to-Point Parameters

Specifies any point-to-point protocol-specific parameters to take into account when performing a point-to-point data transfer to this machine.
