Abstract(s)
Departing from the well-known problem of the excessive overhead and latency of connection
oriented protocols, this paper describes a new almost reliable connectionless protocol that uses user
datagram protocol (UDP) segment format and is UDP compatible. The problem is presented and described,
the motivation, the possible areas of interest and the concept and base operation modes for the protocol
named keyed UDP are presented (here called KUDP). Also, discussed are some of the possible manners in
which the KUDP can be used, addressing potential problems related with current networking technologies.
As UDP is a connectionless protocol, and KUDP allows for some degree of detection of loss and re-ordering
of segments received out-of-sequence, we also present a proposal for a stream reconstruction algorithm. This
paper ends by mentioning some of the research issues that still need to be addressed.
