Abstract
IP protocol suite market is competitive both in terms of cost and delivery. It is prone to the vagarities of the highly volatile telecom market and rapidly evolving technology standards. We currently see that protocol stack development is subjected to constant requirements changes arising from evolving technical standards, changing customer needs and diverse deployment scenarios coupled with resource constraints. Rapid protocol stack development framework - a multi-pronged approach presented in this paper, comprising of reusable components, processes and tools, effectively addresses these challenges.

Rapid protocol stack development framework can greatly reduce time to market for protocol stacks development by helping development teams concentrate on core protocol issues early in the development process. The proposed process gives enormous flexibility to the team in terms of prioritizing requirements and having a phased delivery schedule. A development team judiciously following our approach can effectively deliver high quality protocol stacks faster.
