Distributed dialogs via OSI TP

For distributed processing between applications the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) defined the OSI TP protocol (Open Systems Interconnection Transaction Processing).

OSI TP is part of level 7 of the OSI reference model and was accepted as an international standard under the identification ISO/IEC 10026 in July 1992. In articular, OSI TP allows you to control the processing of distributed, i.e inter-system, transactions. However, you can also use this protocol in cases where two applications simply exchange data without any transaction management. These types of application are often used in client/server communication.
