This is from the article mentioned earlier about Walmart and the demise of VANs...

What I wanted to know is what is a TPA, mentioned in the article below? We
have trading partner agreements but those
are done by hand.
AS2, a creation of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), uses
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP or HTTPS) whereas the older AS1 uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) and HTTP. The advantages of AS2 are that it is a real-time
technology, whereas AS1 uses a store-and-forward protocol; the transmission
medium is inherently secure, whereas users of AS1 need to encrypt messages;
and AS2 supports trading partner agreements (TPAs), which AS1 cannot.
Thanks
REgards,
