Abstract:
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, thus reducing 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 on a packet of another protocol.
The size of the multiplexing headers is kept very low (it may be a
single byte when multiplexing small packets) in order to reduce the
overhead.
