Method, computer program, and apparatus for choosing a supported transport layer protocol for communicating in a telecommunication system

Abstract

Examples relate to a method, a computer program, and an apparatus for choosing a supported transport layer protocol at a first network node of a telecommunication system for communicating with a second network node of the telecommunication system. The method (10) for choosing a supported transport5 layer protocol at a first network node (200) of a telecommunication system (300) for communicating with a second network node (220) of the telecommunication system (300) comprises obtaining (12), at the first network node (200), information about one or more supported transport layer protocols of the second network node (220). The method (10) further comprises selecting (14) a supported transport layer protocol, which is supported by the first network node (200) and the second network node (220),10 based on the information about the sup-ported transport layer protocols of the second network node (220). The method (10) also comprises communicating (16) messages between the first network node (200) and the second net-work node (220) based on the supported transport layer protocol.
