Abstract :
From the infinite world of protocol designs-yet-to-be, the paper focuses on an IETF Birds-of-a-Feather proposal for an Application Core (ApplCore) protocol. ApplCore would identify common problems encountered in application-level protocol development and then design one simple core protocol to solve these problems based on the successes and failures of already deployed IETF protocols-in effect, an application-layer TCP
