Dynamic Protocol Stack Composition: Protocol Independent Addressing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a generic addressing framework (GAF) which enables the development of protocol stack independent applications. This framework has been developed in the context of dynamic protocol stack composition [8]. Having a way to compose [8][7] and build [3] protocol stacks is not sufficient. The protocol layers a stack is composed of have an impact on the addressing used inside the stack. Since addresses are used by applications, the impact of modifying the stack dynamically is not automatically transparent. The addressing framework we present in this paper provides a generalised view on network communication to solve this addressing problem. We validated the GAF in a proof-of-concept prototype.

Non-hierarchical Dynamic Protocol Composition in Jgroup/ARM
Protocol composition is a common approach to structure generic protocols used by networked applications, and typically a vertically layered approach is taken. This paper presents an alternative approach, where the protocol composition is a weakly-coupled set of protocol modules organized in a non-hierarchical structure. Protocol modules are dynamically constructed at runtime. The approach is de...
متن کاملPolicies for dynamic stack composition
Currently, protocol stacks operate in various contexts and it is therefore not possible to know the required properties of a stack (both functional and non-functional) in advance. The stack has to be dynamically built up from components, based on the requirements and the momentary situation. The first step in building the stack is to determine the component types to be used and the stack archit...

متن کاملA Recursive Network Architecture
The Recursive Network Architecture (RNA) explores the relationship of layering to protocol and network architecture. RNA examines the implications of using a single, tunable protocol for different layers of the protocol stack, reusing basic protocol operations across different protocol layers to avoid reimplementation. Its primary goal is to encourage cleaner cross-layer interaction and to supp...
