Mesh Streaming Protocol (MSP)
|
||
|
|
=============================

The [Mesh Streaming Protocol][MSP] is a network protocol used in the [Serval
|
||
|
|
mesh network][]. It provides a two-way, reliable, ordered stream of bytes
|
||
|
|
between a pair of end points, which can be used to transfer files, conduct
|
||
|
|
an HTTP session, or carry quasi-real-time streaming data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MSP uses the unreliable [MDP][] protocol to send datagram packets between the
|
||
|
|
two end points. MSP uses sequence numbering, acknowledgement messages and a
|
||
|
|
sliding window to achieve eventual reliable delivery of all packets. MSP also
|
||
|
|
uses [network coding][] to transmit redundant copies of packets in advance
|
||
|
|
without the inefficiencies of simple packet repetition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MSP was funded by a [grant][] from the [New America Foundation][NAF]'s [Open
|
||
|
|
Technology Institute][OTI].
