Abstract :
The results of a literature survey of the characteristics of high-speed protocols, new protocol architectures, and implementation techniques for these protocols are presented. A general description of transport protocol services is followed by a small sample of gigabit applications that might utilize a high-speed network. The applications considered are distributed processing, full-motion video, video-on-demand, and computer imaging. The problems with current transport protocols and protocol architectures are examined. General concepts for high-speed protocols and protocol architectures are presented. Specific design techniques suggested for high-speed protocols and the potential impacts of each are discussed, covering connection management data transfer, buffer management, and functionality.<>
