- Description of Working Group:
-
- This Working Group is looking at issues involved in
- connection-oriented (or stream- or flow-oriented) internet level
- protocols. The long-term intent is to identify the issues involved,
- to understand them, to identify algorithms that address them, and to
- produce a specification for a protocol that incorporates what the
- Working Group has learned. To achieve this goal, the Group is
- defining a two year collaborative research effort based on a common
- hardware and software base. This will include implementing different
- algorithms that address the issues involved and performing experiments
- to compare them. On a shorter time-line, ST is a stream-oriented
- protocol that is currently in use in the Internet. A short-term goal
- of this Working Group is to define a new specification for ST, called
- ST-2, inviting participation by any interested people. MCHIP and the
- Flow Protocol have also been discussed because they include relevant
- ideas.
