Performance Tests and Flexible Decoding for Transfer Syntax in Real-time Applications

interconnect heterogeneous machines and eliminate their incompatibilities. However, the interoperability benefit of OS1 stacks could be offset by the computational overhead a s soc ia t ed wi th the complex da ta transformation process of OS1 upper layers. In this paper, we summarize the results of a performance evaluat ion s tudy on the overhead of the OSI/ASN. 1 transfer syntax. An approach for a modified transfer syntax that allows for the flexible decoding of transmitted PDUs at the receiving host is also discussed.
