Event based Extensible Interactive Transparent Networking: Performance Study with Fast TCP Principles

Abstract

Interactive Transparent Networking has been proposed to support a new generation of symbiotic applications that require advance interaction with the Network. In this mode advanced applications can subscribe to state- space event based feed from network protocol local end- points by interactive version of the network protocols. This enables a whole new range of high performance extensible adaptation which requires low-time constant feedback. In this paper, we show how classical TCP can be extended to support long delay high capacity pipe. We demonstrate a system that mimics FAST TCP however, without the usual extensive reengineering required by the original. It seems matching performance can be achieved with protocol interactivity.
