Testing of DCCP at the application level
R.E. Hughes-Jones, Stephen Kershaw · 2007
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a recently developed transport protocol whose development and implementation in Linux is being aided by the work of Mark Handley and Andrea Bittau in the ESLEA project.The protocol is attractive to many applications where data is transferred with tight constraints on the timing of data delivery, such as internet telephony and e-Science applications such as e-VLBI.Porting test programs to DCCP has allowed the investigation of the DCCP implementation in recent releases of the Linux kernel and reporting of performance test results.A suggested approach for the use of DCCP for e-VLBI is discussed, with a proposal for a new CCID.
