Abstract :
The authors present the framework for a downline load service to which users subscribe to be properly loaded with their required code images. They review the user´s requirements and present the outline of a service definition and protocol that satisfies the requirements. The analysis of downline-load protocol performance is given from the point of view of the time required to downline load a large number of devices. The authors also examine the impact of the total traffic generated by downline loading. Two downline-loading algorithms are studied and their performance characteristics compared.<>
