Behaviour of TCP in the European ATM Pilot
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present and discuss detailed measurements of TCP in the European ATM Pilot. In this wide area ATM network, the traffic contract is enforced by a Usage Parameter Control (UPC) mechanism. We show that when the ATM level traffic was compliant, TCP achieved a good utilisation of the link. However, when the ATM level traffic was only almost compliant, the TCP throughput almost collapsed.

Behaviour of XTPX in the European ATM pilot
We present and discuss measurements performed with XTPX over the European ATM Pilot. The main characteristic of this wide area ATM network is that the traffic contract is enforced by a Usage Parameter Control (UPC) mechanism. When the ATM traffic is compliant with the traffic contract, XTPX achieves a good utilisation of the link. However, when the ATM traffic is not entirely compliant, the UPC...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Performance Evaluation of TCP Behaviour over ATM Networks
Performance evaluation of TCP over ATM has been the focus of much research recently. A number of studies have analysed observed performance degradation, suggested ways to improve throughput, compared the performance of ABR and UBR as suitable classes of ATM service in transporting TCP traffic. With this explosion of studies exploring various combinations of scenarios (LANs versus WANs, backbone...
متن کاملImplementation of WAN networks over ATM
The objective of this paper is to show the possible ways of implementing WAN networks over ATM networks. The first part is a presentation of the various standardised network data protocols for the transfer of data on public data networks and their relation to ATM. We quickly come to the realisation that the predominant protocol is currently the TCP/IP, which is also used on the known computer n...
متن کاملBETEUS: Multipoint Teleconferencing over the European ATM Pilot
This paper presents a teleconferencing platform that was developed in the course of the European project Beteus. The platform features a high-level programming interface that reduces the application development effort to a minimum. Platform and applications were deployed over the European ATM pilot network between sites in Sophia-Antipolis, Lausanne, Zürich, Geneva and Berlin. One of the major ...
متن کاملIs VBR a solution for an ATM LAN?
We present and discuss detailed measurements showing how TCP behaves in an ATM LAN where a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffic contract is enforced by a Usage Parameter Control (UPC) mechanism. These measurements show that TCP has a lot of difficulties to adapt its behaviour to such a traffic contract. In our environment, TCP only achieved a 10% utilisation of a 10 Mbps VBR VC. We then discuss and ...
