Transport services (TAPS) is a working group of the Internet's standardization body, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). TAPS defines a new recommended API for the Internet's transport layer. This API gives access to a wide variety of services from various protocols, and it is protocol-independent: the transport layer becomes adaptive, and applications are no longer statically bound to a particular protocol and/or network interface. We give an overview of the TAPS API, and we demonstrate its flexibility and ease of use with an example using a Python-based open-source implementation.

传输服务：自适应Internet传输层的现代API

运输服务（TAPS）是Internet标准化机构Internet工程任务组（IETF）的工作组。TAPS为Internet的传输层定义了一个新的推荐API。该API允许从各种协议访问各种服务，并且与协议无关：传输层具有自适应性，并且应用程序不再静态地绑定到特定协议和/或网络接口。我们概述了TAPS API，并通过一个基于Python的开源实现示例演示了它的灵活性和易用性。
