In detail, we have three objectives for this expansion. The first is to provide a platform for easy implementation and deployment of new network control algorithms. At the beginning of this talk I have mentioned that those TCP variants suffer from deployment difficulties because of the changes required to the OS kernel. Because UDT is at user space, those algorithms can be implemented easily in Composable UDT.
Second, even if some of the algorithms will be deployed in the kernel eventually, they can be evaluated using composable UDT in the early stages.
Third, different applications may have different requirements for data transfer, which can also depend on network configuration and even different times of day. Composable UDT can provide such application awareness support.
