Title
From protocol stack to protocol heap: role-based architecture
Abstract
Questioning whether layering is still an adequate foundation for networking architectures, this paper investigates non-layered approaches to the design and implementation of network protocols. The goals are greater flexibility and control with fewer feature interaction problems. The paper further proposes a specific non-layered paradigm called role-based architecture.
