| Summary: | XTP is a transport level protocol that can operate over several network and data link layer protocols. This paper examines the issues involved in implementing XTP version 4.0 over the IP network protocol. We investigate transport related issues that are unique to XTP, examine the behavior and performance of XTP/IP in a Linux kernel implementation (LinuxXTP), recommend several enhancements to the XTP Specification revision 4.0, and introduce Transport Traffic Services for XTP for the most common Internet traffic types. Comparisons to TCP are made to highlight the relative strengths and weak points of XTP. |
