18.2.9.2. Prerequisite Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The same protocol (TCP or TLS) must be used for the connection to the gateway for the VISITED and HOME station in order to avoid that a VISITED station using TCP can disconnect a HOME station using TLS (Dos attacks).
A HOME station connected via TCP that is disconnected by a VISITED station connected via TLS is unable to disconnect the VISTED station and therefore cannot reconnect to its gateway again.
