Hi,

Transport protocol gives information about outside of message details, kind of system, security details.

A transport protocol is a network protocol that has the capability of transferring some payload from one node to another, thus providing some level of transparency from the underlying network.

Transport protocols are used as a mechanism to move payloads around a network. Typically, a payload will have a transport binding associated with it. For example, SOAP (acting as a payload) has a predetermined binding for HTTP (a transport protocol).

Some common transport protocols include: HTTP, HTTP-R, SMTP and BEEP.

Message protocol gives you an idea of message type XI payload
