Performance Tests and Flexible Decoding for Transfer Syntax in Real-time Applications
M.A. Bassiouni, Margaret L. Loper · 2005
OSI stacks can be used to interconnect heterogeneous machines and eliminate their incompatibilities. However, the interoperability benefit of OSI stacks could be offset by the computational overhead associated with the complex data transformation process of OSI upper layers. In this paper, we summarize the results of a performance evaluation study on the overhead of the OSI/ASN.1 transfer syntax. An approach for a modified transfer syntax that allows for the flexible decoding of transmitted PDUs at the receiving host is also discussed.
