Abstract
Systems and methods for reconfiguring a transport-layer protocol are disclosed. The transport-layer protocol is implemented by a plurality of transport-layer mechanisms. Each transport-layer mechanism resides in a dynamically loadable module and implements a specific area of transport-layer functionality. One method comprises: performing an initial load of a first plurality of transport-layer mechanisms into memory; unloading one of the first plurality of transport-layer mechanisms; and loading at least one transport-layer mechanism different than the first plurality. One system comprises a processor coupled to a local interface; a memory coupled to the local interface; and protocol logic stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The protocol logic comprises: monitor logic configured to detect a change in at least one network performance condition of a network communicatively coupled to the network interface; adaptation logic configured to load into the memory a transport-layer mechanism upon a notification by the monitor logic.
