Abstract

This paper overviews the novel Loosely-synchronous Transfer Mode (LTM). In LTM, the network signals sources about its current status, that is, destinations to which frames are being currently routed and quality of service that is being provided. By using the signals, sources schedule frame transmissions to occur when the network is delivering the most adequate service. The Synchronous Protocol Stack (SPS) builds on LTM to deliver synchronization signals from LTM upwards to applications. SPS can use any current transport protocol with no changes and, additionally, enhance it with real time and capabilities made possible through LTM.
