• Previousexample:Berkeleysockets– Today,applicationsusemanydifferentAPIs

It’sawayofthinking aboutcommunication!8

Whatabout...
• Priorities?– Amongyourownflows,andbetweenyoursandothers?
• Careful“donotdisturbanybody”background(“scavenger”)communication?
• Intelligentuseofmultiplenetworkinterfaces?
• Maybeusingdataevenwhenachecksumfails?– Codecscanhandlethat,butUDPwillthrowawayallyourdata
• Usingprotocolfeaturesthatyieldlowerlatency?– Maybetradelatencyagainstbandwidth?– Controlthesendbuffer?

Example:unordered message delivery
• Some applications can accept data chunks outof order,even when requiring reliability– TCPcauses Head-Of-Line(HOL)blocking delay
Chunk 2 Chunk 3 Chunk 4 Chunk 1TCP receiver buffer
App waits in vain!
• Some protocols can deliver data outof order (e.g.SCTP)• If suchaprotocol is notavailable:fine to use TCP!
• in-orderdelivery is correct!Justslower
...BUT:unless anapplication asks for it,we can NEVERgiveitdatainthe wrong order.è Thisservice needs to be inALLAPIs!(notjustsocketlevel)
