Abstract:
The low efficiency caused by the high amount of small packets present
in the network can be alleviated by means of packet aggregation.
There are some situations in which multiplexing a number of small
packets into a bigger one is desirable. For example, a number of
small packets can be sent together between a pair of machines if they
share a common network path. Thus, the traffic profile can be
shifted from small to larger packets, reducing the network overhead
and the number of packets per second to be managed by intermediate
routers.
This document describes Simplemux, a protocol able to encapsulate a
number of packets belonging to different protocols into a single
packet. It includes the "Protocol" field on each multiplexing
header, thus allowing the inclusion of a number of packets belonging
to different protocols (multiplexed packets) on a packet of another
protocol (tunneling protocol).
In order to reduce the overhead, the size of the multiplexing headers
is kept very low (it may be a single byte when multiplexing small
packets).
