We seem to need to decide what "Reliable Data Transfer" means to an
Application.
My point. expanding here a little, is:
TAPS has to by default do something if the app doesn't say what it
wants. So this is really about the default service chosen by TAPS. A
safe assumption is that an app not designed for reordering, loss,
duplication etc will receive the default service, that's why I think
this should be "Reliable Data Transfer".
Apps that CAN handle all of these need to tell the TAPS Interface that
they do not need a "Reliable Data Transfer". If the app does not do
this, and happens to exist on a stack that only supports datagrams, then
it would not be able to connect.

I agree too, but doesn’t this warrant some more discussion?
I think our defaults all translate into things that can work in
some way when TCP is used - with “Reliable Data Transfer” being an
exception, as it just can’t work in a UDP-only system. Are there
others? I think I’ll open an issue for this one.

I don't agree at all - To me this was just the default behaviour
of the API.
I think the default needs to be "reliable" and an app will have to
over-ride that to get datagram/unreliable operation. That doesn't
mean if you have only UDP (for instance) that you can't offer
TAPS, to me it simply means you always need to say that the app
wants this service.
