There is increasing market pressure to provide support for the open interconnection of systems via general purpose protocol suites such as OSI and TCP/IP. The complexity of these protocols means that the achievement of acceptable performance is not easy. Indeed, some would claim it is impossible, and advocate lean, closed protocols. A further aspect of communications architectures in the world outside the research laboratory is that they must be well structured and modular, in order to meet the needs of orderly systems development and the provision of configurable products. This paper examines the trade-offs between these three aspects of protocol stack development: conformance to standards, reasonable performance and modularity. It finds that while a considerable amount of work has been carried out in recent times, it is apparent that we do not know yet how to achieve all three.
