# Configure Transports for SmartSockets

Transports mediate the flow of messages between TIBCO Enterprise Message Service and TIBCO SmartSockets.

`tibemsd` connects to SmartSockets RTservers in the same way as any other SmartSockets client. Transport definitions (in the file `transports.con`f) configure the behavior of these connections. You must properly configure these transports.
