Introduction

This website contains references to work we have done on a newly proposed Internet transport protocol, the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP, formerly DCP), which is motivated by a real-time application's need for a way to send and receive an unreliable stream of data, yet still have a congestion control mechanism that allows it to compete fairly with other flows in the network. Most of our work has focused on the implementation of DCCP.

Implementation

Version 0.0.1 of the user level library: dcp.tar.gz
A utility library that the DCP library depends on: libkl-1.3.8.tar.gz
