Performance Evaluation of TCP Extensions on ATM over High Bandwidth Delay Product Networks

چکیده
Practical experiments in a satellite network environment assist in the design and understanding of future global networks. This paper describes the practical experiences gained from TCP/IP on ATM networks over a high speed satellite link and presents performance comparison studies of such networks with the same host/traac conngurations over local area (LAN) and wide area (WAN) networks. These comparison studies on the LAN, WAN, and satellite environments increase our understanding of the behavior of high bandwidth networks. NASA's Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS), with its special characteristics and high data rate satellite channels, and the ACTS ATM Internetwork (AAI) were used in these experiments to deliver broadband traac. Network performance tests were carried out using application-level software (Netspec) on SONET OC-3 (155.52 Mbps) satellite links. Finally, in this paper we study the performance, eeciency, fairness, and aggressiveness of TCP Reno, TCP New Reno, and TCP SACK end hosts on ATM networks over high Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) networks.

متن کاملTransport Protocols for Large Bandwidth-Delay Product Networks - TCP Extensions and Alternative Transport Protocols
TCP’s poor performance is identified as the bottleneck of high-speed networks. Extensions to TCP have been proposed and implemented. Some authors abandon TCP at all and suggest new transport protocols to overcome TCP limitations, at the expense of compatibility. This paper reports a research on the most significant TCP extensions and transport alternatives, and comparison between them. The majo...
متن کاملSatellite Transport Protocol (STP): An SSCOP-based Transport Protocol for Datagram Satellite Networks
We describe the adaptation of an ATM-based protocol, the Service Specific Connection Oriented Protocol (SSCOP), for use as a transport protocol in a datagram-based satellite data network. This protocol operates with high throughput and efficiency over links with a large bandwidth-delay product, including those with a high bit error or packet loss rate. We discuss the modifications to SSCOP nece...

متن کاملBroadband Satellite Network: TCP/IP Performance Analysis
A number of satellite communication systems have been proposed using geosynchronous (GEO) satellites, as well as low earth orbit (LEO) constellations operating in the Ka-band and above. At these frequencies satellite networks are able to provide broadband services requiring wider bandwidth than the current services at C or Ku-band. As a consequence, some of the new services gaining momentum inc...
