Project

Future networking environment may be hybrid, i.e. consisting of both wireless and fixed networks. That means transmission paths consist of links that differ strongly with respect to their transmission characteristics (biterror rate, available bandwith, burst errors). Therefore arises the questions, if these different characteristics can be kept transparent to the transport-layer of the ISO/OSI reference model. In our opinion these different characteristics can not be handled in a transparent manner. The transport connection, traditionally operating end-to-end, therefore is splitted into two types of transport connections, the first one operating over the wired subnetwork and the second one operating over the wireless network. This spliting enables the proper use of protocol mechanisms with respect to the different characteristics of these networks. A detailed project description (unfortunately only in German) can be found here.
