Title : PURDET Reliable Transport Extensions on UDP
Author(s) : K. Toney
Filename : draft-toney-purdet-00.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 01-Mar-99
Originally this draft started out as 'Reliable Extensions To UDP'.
Instead of calling it 'Reliable Extensions To UDP', it was decided
to use an anagram, PURDET, to represent what this draft was about.
This PURDET specification defines a very lightweight protocol
with minimal transport functions necessary to provide reliability
and flow control over non-reliable UDP transport. It is intended
to be very easy to implement, to have a small footprint on the
OS to allow high fan-out, and support simple control of the
connection.
PURDET supports sequencing, flow control, multiplexing/protocol
identification (using an optional field), error retransmission,
and link loss detection.
PURDET is a work in progress presented for comment. The author
hopes this represents positive progress towards a reliability
approach appropriate to the needs of real time control and similar
applications.
