Abstract :
General-purpose protocols such as open systems interconnection (OSI) transport protocol class 4 (TP4) are confronted with new requirements in computer communication. The services proposed become unadapted and performance insufficient. Then appears a new generation of high-speed protocols designed for real-time applications or VLSI implementation. TP4 performance and its modeling for multiprocessor implementation are analyzed. Functionalities efficiency and implementation characteristics (about dedicated data structures, resources management, and dedicated algorithms) are presented. General elements on TP4 availability are discussed, and implementation environment characteristics are presented
