Abstract

The design of flexible and efficient protocols is an important step toward the building of high performance distributed applications over high speed networks. This project proposes a novel architecture for communication protocols. The global objective of the project is to build a development environment which automatically generates the communication module required by a distributed applications using application-specific knowledge to tailor this communication module for improved performance. The architecture will be validated by prototype protocol implementations and test application demonstration. The architectural design is based on the Application Level Framing and Integrated Layer Processing concepts - techniques for integrating protocol implementation and reducing communication bottlenecks.
