Abstract
Traditional protocols as TCP and UDP propose a very restricted vision of the quality of service notion. These limitations that restrict the spreading out of distributed multimedia application led to us to define a new generic transport protocols generation instantiable from the applicative quality of service requirements. However, the introduction of a new transport protocol has to answer the wide scale deployment questions. This paper proposes a networking architecture based on the concept of active networks that makes possible the automatic and transparent deployment of advanced end to end communications services. The proposed approach has been successfully experimented on top of a large scale European Networking Infrastructure designed in the framework of the GCAP European project.
