In computer networking, the Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) allows peer-to-peer connectivity where no machine-level connectivity can occur. It provides a user-transparent layer that enables a heterogeneous network consisting of different protocols to function as a homogeneous network. TNS forms a transparent layer to which different network protocols can connect.
