transparent: a communications channel that can send any arbitrary message through unmolested. It reserves no characters or bit patterns for its own control uses. The channel may still have control facilities. It would just implement them such that they could never be confused with message traffic. For example control information might only be inserted in a wrapper around each little packet of data transmitted.
