A comparison of automatic protocol generation techniques
Ranil de Silva, Laurent Dairaine, Aruna Prasad Seneviratne, Michael Fry · 1996
Due to the increasing complexity of applications and the availability of high speed networks, classical protocols have become the main bottleneck in communication systems. Although tailored protocols are able to respond to the needs of a given application, their development is expensive in terms of time and effort. An automatic protocol generation environment is most desirable. Two approaches currently usedare the stub compilation and the runtime adaptive techniques. We have studied these two approaches and the behaviour of the resulting tailoredt ransport protocols. Relative performance, comparisons and discussions about these two approaches are presented in this paper.
