We present and validate TICP, a TCP-friendly reliable transport protocol to collect information from a large number of sources spread over the Internet. TICP is a stand-alone protocol that can be used by any application requiring the reliable collection of information. It ensures two main functions: (i) the information arrives at the collector entirely and correctly, (ii) the implosion at the c...

This paper presents the design, implementation, and performance of a reliable multicast transport protocol (RMTP). RMTP is based on a hierarchical structure in which receivers are grouped into local regions or domains and in each domain there is a special receiver called a designated receiver (DR) which is responsible for sending acknowledgments periodically to the sender, for processing acknow...

There are many transport protocols that can be used for streaming multimedia over best-effort networks. These protocols are designed are designed to enhance the services of the underlying transport protocol (i.e. TCP/IP or UDP/IP). The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is used for facilitating the streaming of multimedia data packets whilst the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) is us...

A new modular transport layer protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is proposed: WMTP – Wireless Modular Transport Protocol. This protocol not only allows the simultaneous use of all the main features commonly found in WSN transport protocols, namely congestion control, fairness, and reliability, but also does so in a modular fashion. This way, the application layer can choose to use exa...

Current technologies for managing rail traffic such as the Global System Mobile communications Railway (GSM-R) will be no longer available within upcoming years. The European Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (S2R-JU) proposed Adaptable Communication (ACS) to overcome this problem. In work, we model ACS by abstracting it at Internet Protocol (IP) level, using tunnels datagrams’ transmission a commun...
