An implementation model for connection-oriented internet protocols
Charles D. Cranor, Gurudatta M. Parulkar · 2002
Recently, a number of research groups have proposed connection-oriented access protocols that can provide a variable grade of service with performance guarantees on top of diverse networks. These connection-oriented internet protocols (COIPs) have performance tradeoffs. The authors have designed a COIP kernel (COIP-K), which can be used as a toolkit to implement any of the proposed COIPs, COIP-K features module interchange and incremental software support. The COIP-K implementation and its performance characteristics are presented.>
