“…As an example, we refer to the adaptation of a running TCP stack. When packets are lost during the activation process, TCP will consider these errors as packet loss due to congestion and hence will reduce its congestion window [32]. This will cause a substantial degradation of performance in terms of throughput, even though sufficient bandwidth might be available.…”

Abstract. Research domains such as sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, and pervasive computing, clearly illustrate that computer networks have become more complex and dynamic. This complexity is mainly introduced by unpredictable and varying network link characteristics, heterogeneous capabilities of attached nodes, and the increasing user expectations regarding reliability and quality of service. In order to deal with this complexity and dynamism of computer networks, the system's protocol stack must be able to adapt itself at runtime. Yet, to handle this complex challenge effectively and efficiently, we claim that it is essential for protocol stacks to be developed with run-time adaptability in mind. This chapter presents a software architecture tailored to build highly adaptable protocol stacks, along with a component platform that enforces this architecture. Although the presented software architecture focuses on protocol stacks in general, we zoom in on the application of its founding principles in the domain of embedded network devices.

“…With several applications moving towards wireless media, it is crucial to design a suitable congestion control algorithm that takes into account the wireless network conditions such as lossy medium, mobility, thick walls, etc. There have been techniques such as split connection approach [1], protocol conversion, link-level approach [2], [3], TCP protocol boosters [4], and several other explicit congestion control mechanisms that address the issue of congestion in wireless media, but with the disadvantage of requiring additional functionality in the intermediate nodes.…”

Recent evolution in computer networks clearly demonstrates a trend towards complex and dynamic networks. To fully exploit the potential of such heterogeneous and rapidly evolving networks, it is essential for the protocol stacks of the connected devices to adapt themselves at runtime as the environment changes in which they execute. This illustrates the need for employing programmable (i.e. adaptable) network nodes. In this paper, we concentrate on deploying pointto-point based distributed services in programmable protocol stacks. More in detail, we examine safe runtime adaptations of such services so as to preserve service consistency in programmable networks. This has resulted in the development of the NeCoMan (Network Consistency Management) middleware, a generic distributed coordination platform responsible for safe addition, replacement and removal of pointto-point services among programmable nodes. The novelty of this reflective middleware is in its ability to improve the effectiveness of the deployment process. This is achieved by customizing the deployment process depending on the properties of both the network service that will be deployed and the underlying execution environment.
