DESCRIPTION:Transport protocols are often tightly-tied to their network la
 yer\, specifically designed to take implement functions that the network d
 oes not deal with.\nNot surprisingly\, transport protocols also almost alw
 ays follow the same communication logic as their network layer counterpart
 s.\n\nMoving from inter-connecting machines to inter-connecting informatio
 n in the network (as suggested by Van\, Dirk\, Jon\, and others)\, has lar
 ge consequences in transport protocol design. In this talk\, we introduce 
 an early design of a completely new transport protocol.\nThe new protocol 
 is based on the PSIRP pub/sub communication paradigm and it relies heavily
  on stochastic in-network caches.  We also present a simplistic comparison
  of the new protocol with TCP.\n(The audience is warned of a road construc
 tion ahead\; this is very much work in progress.)\n
