.... application needs (e.g. NETBLT [Cla87a, Cla87b] for bulk data transfer and VMTP [Cher86] for transactional applications) NETBLT or NETwork Block Transfer is a light weight transport protocol working on top of UDP IP optimized for bulk data transfer over High speed LANs ( Cla87a] Cla87b] [Lam87]) The main idea in NETBLT is to dissociate error and AEow control (implicitly linked in all window based AEow control protocols) A NETBLT client sends iblocksj in rate controlled packets without waiting for ACKs. When all the packets of a block are transmitted, the receiver requests the ....

....when possible without degrading other performance parameters. One of the earliest high speed transport protocols, defined to cope with long delays on satellite links was used by the NADIR project [1] A very near example is NETBLT designed at MIT for the efficient transfer of bulk data [2] [3], 4] XTP is another lightweight protocol, cast into VLSI for the Protocol Engine project, with a design center of 100 Mbit sec [5] 6] 7] These protocols tried to minimize the effect of congestion, delays over satellite links, and packet loss by optimizing the flow control and retransmission ....

....to congestion and prudently backing off. This avoids further congestion. However, in the wireless medium, packet losses may also be due to corruption due to high BER, fading, and so on. Here, the right approach is to try harder, instead of backing off. Alternative transport protocols are: NETBLT [NETBLT, RFC1986, RFC1030] MNCP [MNCP] ESRO [RFC2188] RDP [RFC908, RFC1151] VMTP [VMTP] 3 TCP or not This is one of the most hotly debated issues in the wireless arena. Here are some arguments against it: It is generally recognized that TCP does not perform well in the presence of significant levels of non congestion ....

....to be abruptly processed by the receiving end upon receipt and whose size is not restricted. 1.3. 6 Network Block Transfer Protocol Network Block Transfer Protocol (NETBLT) is a recent transport protocol developed in the late eighties for high throughput, bulk data transmission applications [98] [101] over high bandwidth, long delay transmission paths such as satellite links. Like TCP, at the network layer it uses the Internet Protocol (IP) 77] which performs a potentially unreliable datagram service. For reliable data transport service, it provides end to end error recovery and rate based ....
....It also lacks defining some of the necessary algorithms such as the timer expiration and the transmission rate value calculations. However, it is a much simpler and straightforward protocol, and there have also been extensive tests performed in evaluating NETBLT over a variety of networks [101]. Hence, deadlocks, livelocks, races and hazards are not expected to create serious problems. As displayed in the second column of Table 7 1 on page 163, NETBLT scored 2 as well, like TCP, due to simplicity of the protocol definition and these tests. AALCP is another protocol that scored 2 ....
