Deliverable D3.1 - Initial Report on the Extended Transport System

• The NEAT System offers an enhanced API for applications that disentangles them from the actual transport protocol being used. The system also enables applications to communicate their service requirements to the transport system in a generic, transport-protocol independent way. Moreover, the architecture of the NEAT System promotes the evolution of new transport services. Work Package 3 (WP3) enhances and extends the core parts of the NEAT Transport. Efforts have been devoted to developing transport-protocol mechanisms that enable a wider spectrum of NEAT Transport Services, and that assist the NEAT System in facilitating several of the commercial use cases. Work has also started on the development of optimal transport-selection mechanisms; mechanisms that enable for the NEAT System to make optimal transport selections on the basis of application requirements and network measurements. Lastly, another research activity has been initiated on how to use SDN to signal application requirements to routers, switches, and similar network elements. This document provides an initial report on all these WP3 activities—both on completed and on near-termplanned work.
