Title
TOP: A Transport Overlay Protocol for Peer-to-Peer Applications
Abstract
In the next generation Internet, the network should not only be considered as a communication medium but also as a large source of services, which provides performance, reliability and security gains. In this context, the end-to-end hypothesis promoting all the network complexity at its periphery should evolve towards a 'Peer-to-peer hypothesis" promoting the integration of cooperative application layer services inside the network. Following this networking by component paradigm and in order to perform the user requested tasks, Internet scale distributed services (possibly composed of several elementary services) need to communicate using arbitrarily complex communication schemes. This paper introduces a new generation of transport protocol, which Wends the traditional notion of transport connection for supporting, at the transport layer, communication patterns that go beyond traditional point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication schemes.
