“…For example, in QUIC and SCTP it is possible to disable reliable transmissions for certain streams, and QUIC and DCCP have mechanisms for feature and parameter negotiation during the connection handshake. This reconfigurability should be however matched by a proper evolution of the APIs to the application layer, so that developers can benefit from it [107]. Explicit QoS signaling represents a step further in this direction: in order to fully support new applications and services, endpoints will need to be able to specify their QoS requirements [108], as will QoS-aware schemes exploiting tools such as SDN [109].…”

Over the years, the Internet has been enriched with new available communication technologies, for both fixed and mobile networks and devices, exhibiting an impressive growth in terms of performance, with steadily increasing available data rates. The Internet research community has kept trying to evolve the transport layer protocols to match the capabilities of modern networks, in order to fully reap the benefits of the new communication technologies. This paper surveys the main novelties related to transport protocols that have been recently proposed, identifying three main research trends: (i) the evolution of congestion control algorithms, to target optimal performance in challenging scenarios, possibly with the application of machine learning techniques; (ii) the proposal of brand new transport protocols, alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and implemented in the user-space; and (iii) the introduction of multipath capabilities at the transport layer.
