Speaker

Mr Stephen McQuistin (University of Glasgow)

Description

Many applications would benefit from a richer set of services than is provided by TCP and UDP. Ossification makes it difficult to develop novel protocols, restricting solutions to using widely-deployed protocols as substrates. In this talk, I'll outline our broad approach to transport-layer evolution, and introduce TCP Hollywood as an example. Further, I'll appeal to network operators for help in understanding their middlebox deployments, and how these might impact transport-layer evolution.
