Abstract: This document defines a Parallel Transport Protocol (PTP) that permits parallel data flow between a wide variety of interconnected equipment configurations. The intent of the protocol is to provide bandwidth improvements for large transfers which scale implicitly with increasing physical parallelism (e.g. with increasing numbers of devices or increasing network parallel interconnectivity). Parallel transport will be defined as a connection mode transport application which will use standard transport providers for data movement, and standard transport interfaces for implementation.
