TCP Performance in Mobile Wireless Environment: Channel Modelling and Network Simulation

Overview This paper explores TCP performance over a two-node mobile wireless link in five realistic scenarios with different propagation environments. It uses a simple method to combine a physical layer modelling and a network simulation using the network simulator ns-2. The paper presents the results of the propagation channel simulation and the results of the corresponding network simulation using TCP Tahoe protocol. The work discussed in this paper demonstrates that in order to improve TCP performance over wireless links, one need not only to tune the parameters of TCP but also to modify the TCP semantics.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
