Network interface architectures for high speed networks

Task: C.2
Task Leader: SICS
Participants: SICS 6 mm, UTS 2 mm
From: T0 To: T0+12
Input from: A.1, A.2, C.1, D.1
Output to: other C tasks, D.1, D.2, D.3
Deliverable: SICS-2 (Report): A prototype of a driver to SunOS 4.0
Due at: T0+12
Milestones: Draft version at T0+6
Description:
We will experiment with an architecture based on a single multiplexing point and direct transfer of protocol data units between network and user address space. Of particular interest is what the application program interface should look like. It includes how to support QoS per application data stream, such as real time demands of multimedia applications.
