TCP-R with EPDN: Handling out of Order Packets in Error Prone Satellite Networks

TCP-R with EPDN: Handling out of Order Packets in Error Prone Satellite Networks

Studies have shown that packet reordering is common, especially in satellite networks where there are link level retransmissions and multipath routing. Moreover, traditional satellite networks exhibit high corruption rates causing packet losses. Reordering and corruption of packets decrease the TCP performance of a network, mainly because it leads to overestimation of the congestion in the netw...

TCP-R: A Protocol for Handling Out of Order Packets in Satellite Networks

Moreover, satellite networks exhibit high corruption rates causing packet losses.

Robust TCP (TCP-R) with Explicit Packet Drop Notification (EPDN) for Satellite Networks

Numerous studies have shown that packet reordering is common, especially in satellite networks where there are regular handoffs occurring between neighboring satellites. Reordering of packets decreases the TCP performance of a network, mainly because it leads to overestimation of the congestion of the network. We consider satellite networks and analyze the performance of such networks when reor...

Explicit transport error notification (ETEN) for error-prone wireless and satellite networks

Wireless and satellite networks often have non-negligible packet corruption rates that can significantly degrade TCP performance. This is due to TCP’s assumption that every packet loss is an indication of network congestion (causing TCP to reduce the transmission rate). This problem has received much attention in the literature. In this paper, we take a broad look at the problem of enhancing TC...
