Hi everybody,
I am looking for any implementation of RFC 1693 - "An extension to
TCP: Partial Order Service" (preference for Linux).
I would like to find out its improvements over "non partial order TCP" on Long
Fat Pipe Networks.
The implementation of RFC 1693 does't seem to be a light task. TCP is a byte
stream protocol and this partial order implementation requires a message
framework, moreover flow control, error recovery, etc, would require a
substantial change. I guess backward compatibility would become complicate as
well on this scenario.
At the moment I am wondering if its worth for me to try its implementation...
So if any of you have some hints on this subject please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Vitor.
