Abstract

Interactivity in transport protocol can greatly benefit transport friendly applications. We envision if a transport mechanism, which is interactive and can provide event notification about network state to the subscriber of its communication service, than a wide range of solution to many of today´s hard network problem can be instituted. Recently we have implemented this concept system as a new TCP kernel on FreeBSD called TCP interactive and a novel symbiotic MPEG-2 full logic transcoder. In this paper we share the results of the TCP interactive performance experiment and show potential dramatic improvement in time-bounded video delivery.
