Protocol boosters

چکیده
This paper describes a new methodology for protocol design, using incremental construction of the protocol from elements called “protocol boosters” on an as-needed basis. Protocol boosters allow: (1) dynamic protocol customization to heterogeneous environments, and (2) rapid protocol evolution. Unlike alternative adaptation approaches, such as link layer, conversion, and termination protocols, protocol boosters are both robust (end-to-end protocol messages are not modified) and maximize efficiency (does not replicate the functionality of the end-to-end protocol). We give examples of error and congestion control boosters and give initial results from booster implementations.

Operating System Support for Protocol Boosters
Protocol Boosters" are modules inserted into Protocol graphs. They allow the protocol's behavior to adapt to its environment. Boosters can mask undesirable properties of links or subnets in an internetwork. The method permits use of proprietary protocols and supports end-to-end optimizations. We have implemented Protocol Boosters support in the FreeBSD version of UNIX for Intel architecture mac...
متن کاملP4: A platform for FPGA implementation of protocol boosters
Protocol Boosters are functional elements, inserted and deleted from network protocol stacks on an as-needed basis. The Protocol Booster design methodology attempts to improve end-to-end networking performance by adapting protocols to network dynamics. We describe a new dynamically reconngurable FPGA based architecture , called the Programmable Protocol Processing Pipeline (P4), which provides ...
متن کاملDesign and Deployment of Link-Layer Boosters for Per-flow Improvement of QoS in Wireless Internet Access
1 This work has been partially supported by the IST Project MOBIVAS. ABSTRACT The transport mechanisms of Internet have an inherent drawback, which is due to their generality. Internet has to support a broad range of services (data, audio, video, etc.) on top of a unique protocol stack. On the other hand, it is well known, that there is a high potential for QoS and efficiency improvement if joi...
متن کاملCritical Discourse Analysis of Hedges and Boosters in Iranian TV Election Debates of Presidential Candidates
To win the attention of the audience, presidential candidates rely on their own rhetorical methods. Hedges and boosters as metadiscourse markers have been the focus of many studies as the communicative strategies enabling speakers to soften the force of utterances or moderate their assertive force. TV news was used as the corpus of this study, whereas most of the previous studies have focused o...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluates alternative protocols in telephone counselling for smoking cessation. DESIGN The American Cancer Society enrolled 6322 clients in a randomised trial comparing three counselling formats of varying duration and frequency of contact, with or without booster sessions, and mailed self help booklets without telephone counselling. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Participant...
