Abstract :
This paper presents a new transport protocol system, HTPNET, that is designed to overcome the protocol processing bottleneck in high-speed networks. HTPNET is based on a highly parallel architecture and is designed to exploit the evolving characteristics of high-speed networks. A prototype implementation of HTPNET has been constructed from a network of T800 transputers. The results obtained from this implementation are presented: these demonstrate the advantages of exploiting a parallel architecture for protocol processing
