Abstract
Techniques for selecting a network communications protocol based on network topology and/or network performance are described. A first application executing on a first computer system obtains a distance characteristic of a network coupling the first computer system to a second computer system. The first application selects a network communications protocol from a plurality of network communications protocols based on the distance characteristic of the network. The first application and the second application connect with the selected network communications protocol. In some embodiments, the distance characteristic of the network may be based on topological or performance characteristics of the network.
