Abstract :
Traditional transport protocols such as TCP and TP4 were not designed to be used in distributed systems; they also fail to support the high speeds and low error rates of current high speed networks such as FDDI. Various protocols, such as VMTP, RRDP, NET-BLT and XTP have suggested ways of supporting distributed systems and/or high speed networks. However, none of them have fully supported both distributed systems and high-speed networks. This paper outlines the structure of TRUMP, a transport protocol that meets most of the requirements for high speed networks and distributed systems, except for multicast, which is still being designed
