Effect of delay spike on SCTP, TCP Reno, and Eifel in a wireless mobile environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eifel has been proposed as a solution to enhance the performance of TCP during delay spikes in a wireless mobile environment. This paper evaluates and compares the performance of SCTP, TCP, and Eifel during delay spikes. We have shown that although Eifel performs better than TCP Reno and SCTP when there are no packet losses, the opposite is true when packets are lost in the presence of delay spikes. Our results also show that a higher link bandwidth does not always increase the data throughput of SCTP, TCP Reno, and Eifel.

Transport Layer Design in Mobile Wireless Networks
In this chapter, we discuss the transport layer design issues in a mobile wireless networks. The focus will be put on two transport protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). TCP is the dominant transport protocol currently used for most Internet services such as Web browsing, file transfer, remote login etc. SCTP is a recently developed prot...
متن کاملImproving End-to-End Throughput of Mobile IP using SCTP
Mobile IP is the IETF-proposed standard to offer seamless mobile computing. A new transport layer protocol, called Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), has recently been accepted by IETF as a proposed standard to address a number of TCP limitations. Most of the previous research on end-to-end throughput over Mobile IP has been carried out on TCP-Reno. Both TCP and SCTP can use Selective...
متن کاملTransport Control Protocols for Wireless Connections
In this paper, we study the effect of bit error rates and handoff disconnections on the performance of different TCP implementations (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno, and SACK). Test scenarios with larger link-up periods, when the mobile is connected, but higher disconnection probability yielded better performance than scenarios with smaller link-up periods and smaller disconnection probability. Our perfo...
متن کاملEffect of High Error Rate on the Behaviour of TCP Variants Using Realistic Error Model in Cellular Mobile Environment
TCP performance in the wireless environments is impacted by two path characteristics not normally present in wired environments: packet losses due to corruption and mobility. There are two mechanisms to model the wireless packet losses in simulation: Uniform error model and the Realistic error model (Two states). Uniform error model tends to produce inaccurate results, because in this error mod...
متن کاملEffect of Node Mobility and Handoff on the Performance of Tcp Variants in Mobile Cellular Environment
TCP is the most common and important transport layer protocol and its performance in the wireless environments is characterized by two path characteristics not normally present in wired environments: packet losses due to corruption and mobility.. In this research, we have used the perfect cellular model to model the wireless packet losses due to mobility and handoff in order to get the real per...
