A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The Generic Multiparty Transport Protocol (swift) Author(s) : A. Bakker Filename : draft-grishchenko-ppsp-swift-02.txt Pages : 28 Date : 2011-07-11 swift is a generic multiparty (swarming) transport protocol. TCP, today's dominating transport protocol, is connection/ conversation-oriented. But traffic-wise, the currently dominating usecase is content dissemination. There is a multitude of incompatible approaches to resolve that discrepancy above/below the transport layer: peer-to-peer, CDN, caches, mirrors, multicast, etc. swift aims at creating a single unified content-centric transport protocol serving as a lingua franca of content distribution. To implement that ultimate data cloud model, the protocol has to unify use cases of data download, video-on-demand and live streaming. It must work in the settings of client-server, peer-to-peer, CDN or peer-assisted networks, effectively blending those architectures.
