Abstract :
A function-based communication model that allows applications to request individually tailored services from the communication subsystem is presented. Based on service requirements and available resources, suitable protocol machines are configured to serve the application. This configuration is done using a proper combination of functional modules. The concept of layering is therefore abandoned for both flexibility and efficiency reasons
