LT-TCP: End-to-End Framework to Improve TCP Performance Over Networks With Lossy Channels
Overview As wireless channels are becoming common, the performance of TCP over networks with such links is important. TCP performance suffers substantially when packet error rates increase beyond a value of about 1% - 5%. This paper proposes an end-end mechanism to improve TCP performance over networks comprising lossy wireless link. The scheme separates the congestion indications from the wireless packet erasures by exploiting ECN. To overcome packet erasures the authors used a dynamic and adaptive Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme that includes adaptation of the Maximum Segment Size for TCP.
