Implementation of a Priority Service for SMTP

Abstract

Current Military Message Handling Systems (MMHS) are based on the X.400 standard of the International Standardization Organization. Recent examinations have shown that the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) can satisfy most requirements for MMHS. For the only relevant requirement not satisfied, we have developed a solution. This paper describes the solution and an experimental implementation. Additionally, the results from a series of tests on a tactical narrow bandwidth testbed are described.
