Abstract
This paper looks at transport services required by applications and proposes using a QoS vector to specify all transport requirements. These ideas have been pursued in the design and development of a new transport protocol called A1. Preliminary performance results for A1 over ATM are presented and compared with an efficient kernel implementation of TCP/IP.
