Abstract
This paper discusses the configuration of light-weight protocols. As opposed to other proposals which introduce a predetermined protocol hierarchy, the configuration is dynamic in the sense that an application can specify requirements of the underlying services and the configuration of a protocol is done with respect to these requirements. The approach discussed in this paper introduces a model for the configuration of protocols comprising of three layers: application, end-to-end communications, and transport infrastructure layer. The dynamic configuration takes place in the end-to-end communications layer. The emphasis of the paper is on the description of the model, a notation for the description of application requirements, and the configuration of protocol entities. The approach is particularly well-suited to make use of any progress in implementations of protocol functions.<>
