Abstract:
The world of Internet transport protocols is changing, after decades
of TCP and UDP operation. Several proposals have been submitted for
the past years (and counting) to introduce other transport protocols
that aim at reducing the web latency of that of TCP or avoiding the
burden of the various middle-boxes (NATs, firewalls, for one)
encountered along the communication path. Such initiatives, although
not new, are motivated by the complexity of some (non-transparent)
networking functions.
This document advocates for the definition of transport profiles and
the need to document recommendations for middleboxes, including
Performance Enhancement Proxies (PEPs) behaviors. A collaboration
among the involved players (service providers, vendors) is required
to soften the current complications encountered in the Internet at
large.
