Transport Area:
Speakers: David Black and Mirja Kuhlewind
Description: This session will provide a high level overview of the
Transport and Services (TSV) Area, which works on mechanisms related to
end-to-end data transport. TSV activities cover core transport
protocols, such as TCP, UDP, DCCP, and SCTP; congestion mitigation and
notification; middlebox services, such as firewalls and IPv4/IPv6
network address translation; coordinating/transporting network storage,
such as iSCSI, FC/IP, and NFS; and congestion avoidance by
coordinating/optimizing traffic flows. The tutorial will give an
overview of present work, briefly cover the history of the TSV area, and
summarize current developments with respect to the future of the TSV
area's work and organization.
