Implementation

Communication:

The services will be provided via specialized file operations supported by software^1.5 that is to be linked with (new) applications wishing to communicate with the server. For the purpose of communication, sockets will be used.

Use of TACO:

The system level support for adaptation in TACO enables applications to set Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for each socket connection using simple system calls.

The application level support for adaptation in TACO comes in form of API support for link handling. By choosing an implementation using sockets in C, it is made possible to use the facilities for adaptation provided by TACO.

The goal of the implementation will be to prove the feasibility and viability of the design. I believe that the environment described in Section 1.3.1 and the choice of using sockets for communication purposes provides an adequate setting for achieving this goal.
