Yes, it is probably time to replace TCP-TCP using TCP-DCCP . 
The performance evaulation is required to use it in TML.

Re: Fwd: Protocol Action: 'Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)' to Proposed Standard

Yes indeed. And in order to do a performance evaluation we need a stable
implementation of this protocol (preferably on Linux) that can be tested
against TCP. I have been looking for one for more than a year now and
haven't had any luck. I know that Jamal was guiding someone in the Linux
community to work on this but not sure if that resulted in a stable DCCP
implementation.

If anyone has more info on this pls do let us know.

Thanks
Hormuzd

Yes, if anyone get a copy of DCCP implemenation, please share with us.
I would like to spend time on this experiment. 
Besides, I think TCP-UDP+schedule can have similar effect.

IPTML draft

Hi,

Seems I forgot to make a note to the list.
 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wang-forces-iptml-00.txt is a draft on IPTML that we
submitted before the deadline.  The transmission scheme is based on TCP+UDP, called TCP-UDP pair
connections.  More experiments are being carried on, and we are going to present more experiment results
on this scheme soon. 

Hope to get comments from you.

Thanks,

Weiming

A old suggestion. Welcome your comments.

1) [Page 14] Remove the definition of ACID, as ACID is a well known
concept. In this ForCES Specification, we do not provide new information
about the definition of ACID.

about transaction

Transaction's discuss in the ForCES Protocol has lasted for a long time. 
Till now there exist "TBD" and "not sure"in the protocol. Why not we 
temporarily impose some limitations to reduce the complexity. For examples, 
we let transaction exist only in the situation of one CE vs. one FE. In 
other words, we will not consider the transaction in multicast/broadcast.

Re: A old suggestion: ACID text removal

Actually, I like having the definition in the document.  It does not take 
up much space, and is very helpful to the reader.  Remember that the 
average reader probably will not be a database or transaction processing 
oriented person.
Heck, until we started this discussion I could not have reconstructed what 
ACID properties of transactions were, and I have seen them before.

Yours,
Joel

Re: A old suggestion: ACID text removal

Joel, thank you for your reply.

The draft has already provided the reference of ACID. Even you do not konw 
the meaning of ACID, you can still understand the draft. 
I think simpler is better.
