Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new transport protocol TSMP, which seeks to support data transfer for the emerging usage paradigm of "single user, multiple devices" in a TCP compatible manner. Through its novel naming and proxy-based designs, TSMP is able to retain the current client and server protocol operations of the legacy TCP protocol and TCP-based applications while placing new functions at the proxy. Our evaluation has confirmed its viability.
