DTS Middleware gives excellent opportunities to support a wide range
of different kind of customer environments. Implementations exist on all
common hardware platforms and operating systems. Today TCP/IP is being
used as the transport below DTS most often, but as a strong legacy from
the past a variety of different communication protocol options are still available.
To maintain compatibility. To not to restrict your alternatives.
