DTS Agent

The DTS agent is responsible for carrying out the physical transfer of data, which it does at the request of the TOS. The DTS agent supports multiple communication protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, PPP, SNA, SPX, Broadcast, and Multicast, using the CLI.

Note: DTS does not support the latest version of PPP communication protocol, PPPv6.

During any given data transfer, an agent takes on two personality characteristics which define its role (and responsibilities) during the transfer cycle. These characteristics dictate that the agent acts as either an initiator or a responder, and as either a sender or a receiver.
