This paper proposes a new transport protocol, namely SATP (Simple ATM Transport Protocol), designed for ATM based Intranets. It is adapted to the specific characteristics of ATM and can be used transparently from any application as an alternative to TCP, which is known to not suit well over ATM. Transparent means that the use of SATP does not require any modification and recompilation of applic...

Transport protocol design for supporting multimedia streaming in mobile ad hoc networks is challenging because of unique issues, including mobility-induced disconnection, reconnection, and high out-of-order delivery ratios; channel errors and network congestion. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a transmission control protocol (TCP)-friendly transport protocol for ad h...

The performance of file transfer applications running over an ATM infrastructure investigated, taking into account both the impact of the ATM and AAL layer protocols and the features of the adopted transport protocol. Two transport protocols in particular are considered: TCP and XTP. The two transport protocols have quite different characteristics: while TCP is a window-based protocol, XTP is r...

This document specifies the usage of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) as a transport protocol for Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN). It provides guidance on when and how to use DTLS with the currently standardized STUN usages. It also specifies modifications to the STUN and Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) URIs and to the TURN resolution mechanism to facilitate the resolution o...

An integrated satellite-HAPS system is particularly suitable for supporting emergency communications. A key element for the efficient adoption of such systems is the enhancement of transport layer capability to support TCP-based applications. This paper proposes a detailed analysis of TCP performance over the target scenario, involving a DVB-RCS protocol stack for satellite air interface. I-PEP...

The high transmission speed of optical networks has resulted in shifting of communication bottlenecks from the transmission media to the host processing system, especially the transport protocol processing at the end systems. New protocols, such as XTP, HTPNET, RTP, have been proposed by researchers to meet the requirements of high speed networks. TCP/IP, which has been very successful as a tra...

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It is designed to transport public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader applications. This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which describes the m...

This paper presents the design, implementation and performance of a reliable multicast transport protocol called RMTP. RMTP is based on a hierarchical structure in which receivers are grouped into local regions or domains and in each domain there is a special receiver called a Designated Receiver (DR) which is responsible for sending acknowledgments periodically to the sender, for processing ac...

Censorship of free speech on the Internet has been an increasing problem as the methods of identifying and filtering traffic have become more sophisticated. A number of approaches to counteract Internet censorship have been implemented, from censorship-resistant publishing systems to anonymizing proxies. While existing systems provide protection against some attacks, they fail to provide resist...
