The paper describes the development of a new transport protocol for the SpaceWire onboard networks. It starts from the overview and analysis of existing SpaceWire-oriented transport protocols. Then the paper considers the general industrial requirements for the Transport protocol, which should operate over the SpaceWire network technology. The main two chapters of the paper present the first an...

We describe the goals of the IETF’s Intrusion Detection Working Group (IDWG) and the requirements for a transport protocol to communicate among intrusion detection systems. We then describe the design and implementation of IAP, the first attempt at such a protocol. After a discussion of IAP’s limitations, we discuss BEEP, a new IETF general framework for application protocols. We then describe ...

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new Internet standards track transport layer protocol. SCTP was designed to transport PSTN signaling messages over IP networks, but SCTP is also capable of serving as a generalized transport protocol. As such, SCTP provides an alternative to the traditional transport protocols, TCP and UDP, that may be better able to satisfy the requirements ...

This draft describes a protocol (RTP) suitable for the transport of real-time data, such as audio, video or simulation data. The data transport is enhanced by a control protocol designed to provide minimal control and identification functionality. A reverse control protocol provides mechanisms for monitoring quality of service and other content-specific requests. This protocol is intended for e...

In this work, we explore transport layer protocol design for an optical flow-switched network. The objective of the protocol design is to guarantee the reliable delivery of data files over an all-optical endto-end flow-switched network which is modeled as a burst-error channel. We observe that Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is not best suited for Optical Flow-Switching (OFS). Specifically, fl...

Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document defines a Session ...

This document specifies a mechanism for usage of SCTP (the Stream Control Transmission Protocol) as the transport mechanism between SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) entities. SCTP is a new protocol that provides several features that may prove beneficial for transport between SIP entities that exchange a large amount of messages, including gateways and proxies. As SIP is transport-independent,...

This document describes the messages and procedures of the Negativeacknowledgment (NACK) Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) protocol. This protocol is designed to provide end-to-end reliable transport of bulk data objects or streams over generic IP multicast routing and forwarding services. NORM uses a selective, negative acknowledgment mechanism for transport reliability and offers additional ...
