OSTI ID:5471839
The Livermore Interactive Network Communications System (LINCS) is a hierarchical architecture for the support of distributed computing. Level 3 of this architecture is the Network layer defining a datagram network. DeltaGram is the LINCS datagram protocol, with the following caveat. A packet passed to the origin DeltaGram module may be segmented in route and be delivered as two or more packets at the destination. DeltaGram does not provide reassembly at intermediate or destination modules. Another view is that the fields in the original packet are attributes labeling the bits in the packet. Even if the original packet is segmented, the bits are delivered to the destination as originally labeled. Therefore, DeltaGram can be viewed as providing a labeled bit stream service. DeltaGram's purpose is to carry packets on a best effort basis from origin to destination ports. Ports are identified by addresses and are normally bound to processes.
