Open Transport
open-in-new
<p>Open Transport was the name given by <a href="/facts/Apple_Inc./oTJYta3k">Apple Inc.</a> to its implementation of the <a href="/facts/Unix/0pNL2seI">Unix</a>-originated <a href="/facts/UNIX_System_V/Epm6GEY4">System V</a> <a href="/facts/STREAMS/MWSDgwBL">STREAMS</a> <a href="/facts/Networking_stack/Btj9FtwJ">networking stack</a>. Based on code licensed from Mentat's <a href="/facts/Mentat_Portable_Streams/m4eClBtT">Portable Streams</a> product, Open Transport was built to provide the <a href="/facts/Classic_Mac_OS/I5fQq44K">classic Mac OS</a> with a modern <a href="/facts/TCP%2fIP/KNkxtSpw">TCP/IP</a> implementation, replacing <a href="/facts/MacTCP/eMsm5qk2">MacTCP</a>. Apple also added its own implementation of <a href="/facts/AppleTalk/6j3NRgTl">AppleTalk</a> to the stack to support legacy networks. </p>
