Protocol Standardization Efforts

SUMMARY - Given the increasing number of logistical networking software components, the REDDnet community is actively seeking to establish a series of standard protocols that would ensure the interoperability between these components and the services they need and/or the clients they serve.

The following are the protocols under deliberation:

• Transfer and Storage Services Protocol

• Resource Discovery Protocol (see Resource Discovery Standardization)

• Exnode Management Services Protocol

Although the Internet Backplane Protocol already has a documented API, it is also under revision by members of the REDDnet community, some of whom are the original authors.

• Internet Backplane Protocol
  • Version 1.4
  • 1.4 Revision
