Abstract
Technological improvements in Computer and Telecommunication areas lead to the emergence of new distributed multimedia and co-operative applications, whose features and requirements are both multiple and diversified. In order to tackle their needs, two major approaches are currently developed, one arguing for an improvement of the application software, the other one promoting a sophisticated network support. Following this last approach, a new concept of connection, the partial order connection (POC), has been proposed and formalized. This paper provides simulation results of the POC concept obtained using the OPNET software tool. Particulary, it is shown how a partial order / partial reliability management at the transport layer impacts on end to end transit delay and on the memory used at both sending and receiving transport entities.
