Abstract
This paper describes a new methodology for protocol design, using
incremental construction of the protocol from elements called
“protocol boosters” on an as-needed basis. Protocol boosters
allow: (1) dynamic protocol customization to heterogeneous environments
and (2) rapid protocol evolution. Unlike alternative adaptation
approaches, such as link layer, conversion, and termination protocols,
protocol boosters are both robust (end-to-end protocol messages are not
modified) and efficient (do not replicate the functionality of the
end-to-end protocol). We give examples of error and congestion control
boosters, and give initial results from booster implementations
