VMTP as the transport layer for high-performance distributed systems
TLDR
The design of the Versatile Message Transaction Protocol is described and some performance measurements of the protocol used in the V-Distributed System are described and it is shown that VMTP addresses all of the above issues within a single protocol without significant compromise.Abstract:
The authors identify and discuss three major categories of deficiencies in current transport protocols: performance, naming, and functionality. They describe the design of the Versatile Message Transaction Protocol (VMTP) and some performance measurements of the protocol used in the V-Distributed System. They show that VMTP addresses all of the above issues within a single protocol without significant compromise. >read more

Location discovery in a data network
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for location discovery in a data network includes receiving, at a first device, connection information from a neighboring network device and determining a physical location of the first device based on the connection information.

Implementing remote procedure calls
TL;DR: The overall structure of the RPC mechanism, the facilities for binding RPC clients, the transport level communication protocol, and some performance measurements are described, including some optimizations used to achieve high performance and to minimize the load on server machines that have many clients.
Host extensions for IP multicasting
TL;DR: This memo specifies the extensions required of a host implementation of the Internet Protocol to support multicasting and obsoletes RFCs 998 and 1054.

Implementing remote procedure calls
TL;DR: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) as mentioned in this paper is a high level language for providing communication across a network between programs written in a high-level language, which is similar to the one used in this paper.

Multicast routing in internetworks and extended LANs
TL;DR: This paper proposes extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms---distance-vector routing and link-state routing---to support low-delay datagram multicasting, and shows how different link-layer and network-layer multicast routing algorithms can be combined hierarchically to support multicasting across large, heterogeneous internetworks.
