+<description>
+
+<p>
+This module implements diameter transport over TCP using gen_tcp.
+It can be specified as the value of a transport_module option to
+<seealso
+marker="diameter#add_transport">diameter:add_transport/2</seealso>
+and implements the behaviour documented in
+<seealso marker="diameter_transport">diameter_transport(3)</seealso>.</p>

+
+<p>
+The only diameter_tcp-specific argument is the options list.
+Options <c>raddr</c> and <c>rport</c> specify the remote address
+and port for a connector and not valid for a listener.
+Remaining options are any accepted by gen_tcp:connect/3 for
+a connector, or gen_tcp:listen/2 for a listener, with the exception
+of <c>binary</c>, <c>packet</c> and <c>active</c>.
+Also, option <c>port</c> can be specified for a listener to specify the
+local listening port, the default being the standardized 3868 if
+unspecified.
+Note that option <c>ip</c> specifies the local address.</p>
+
+<p>
+If the service specifies more than one Host-IP-Address and
+option <c>ip</c> is unspecified then then the
+first of the service's addresses is used as the local address.</p>
+
+<p>
+The returned local address list has length one.</p>
