Higher Layer Protocols for a Workstation Architecture (Networking, Operating System)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis thesis presents WorkNet and the VSP (Virtual Service Protocol). WorkNet is an extension of transport layer protocols and interprocess communications mechanisms. VSP is an original presentation layer protocol. These protocols are tailored to workstations connected via a local area network. WorkNet is intended to integrate network and non-network I/O, to be flexible, and to allow connection of special purpose hardware indistinguishable from the inclusion of additional software packages. The integration of I/O makes WorkNet a reasonable basis for a message-based network operating system.
