The Impact of Efficient Flow Control and OS Features on TCP Performance Over Satellite Links
Overview Transmission Control Protocol is the layer 4 protocol over which over 90% of the Internet applications are based. The high latency peculiar of satellite links causes severe degradation of performance, especially if high bandwidth is available. In fact, due to the high Bandwidth Delay Product the pipe requires a long time to fill. To counteract such impairments many solutions have been proposed and some of them are actually implemented in real systems. These solutions are based either on the modification of the TCP algorithm, mainly the flow control and the recovery, or on the architecture, mainly on splitting the connection (eg, PEP - Performance Enhancing Proxies), which may even include the implementation of proprietary solutions.
