Description:
The basic objective of this task will be to develop a prototype to
validate the viability of dynamic adaptivity.
The major portion of the work for this task will involve the
development of a library of generic protocol functions, that
would have been identified in the task entitled "Dynamically Configurable Protocol Architecture" in WP A.
The optimized protocol suite for a given
application, determined from a user specification developed
in conjunction with the findings from the survey of applications
carried out in WP A and/or
in accordance with a recipe from the task entitled "recipe book"
in WP D. The protocol will be synthesized at connection
set-up (using a technique such as dynamic linking).
Reconfiguration of the initial
protocol will be triggered as a result of a change
in application requirement (the connection of a third
party as mentioned earlier or based on the findings of
the survey of applications), network service ( such as higher
delay and delay jitter) and under certain
conditions end system resources (lack of memory due
to the opening of another connection and using inputs from
execution environment work of WP C).
This work will be done on DEC DS 5000's under the execution environment used in WP C.
