The interface required of a transport module is documented in <seealso
marker="diameter_transport">diameter_transport(3)</seealso>.</p>
+
+<p>
+Multiple <c>transport_module</c> and <c>transport_config</c>
+options are allowed.
+The order of these is significant in this case (and only in this case),
+a <c>transport_module</c> being paired with the first
+<c>transport_config</c> following it in the options list, or the
+default value for trailing modules.
+Transport starts will be attempted with each of the
+modules in order until one establishes a connection within the
+corresponding timeout (see <c>transport_config</c> below) or all fail.</p>

A term passed as the third argument to the <seealso
marker="diameter_transport#start">start/3</seealso> function of
the relevant <c>transport_module</c> in order to start a transport process.
Defaults to the empty list if unspecified.</p>
+
+<p>
+The 3-tuple form additionally specifies an interval, in milliseconds,
+after which a started transport process should be terminated if it has
+not yet established a connection.
+For example, the following options on a connecting transport
+request a connection with one peer over SCTP or another
+(typically the same) over TCP.</p>
+
+<code>
+{transport_module, diameter_sctp}
+{transport_config, SctpOpts, 5000}
+{transport_module, diameter_tcp}
+{transport_config, TcpOpts}
+</code>
+
+<p>
+To listen on both SCTP and TCP, define one transport for each.</p>
