Abstract :
This paper proposes a new transport protocol designed for large virtualized data centers of the future. The underlying premise of this work is that it is possible to achieve significant added functionality with a new transport layer w/o materially affecting the underlying IP and MAC layers. The paper motivates the need for such a protocol, discusses the required features and shows how they can be implemented by starting with an existing and popular transport, namely SCTP.
