Multipath TCP in Lossy Wireless Environment

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Random loss in wireless ad hoc nets derives from two main causes: lossy wireless channels and node mobility. Breakage and loss can significantly degrade the performance of network protocols, especially TCP. Recently, several schemes have been proposed to protect TCP from mobility induced link breaks by freezing TCP state when a link break is detected. TCP freeze however does not help with high channel loss due to random interference. Multipath solutions had been attempted to protect TCP from mobility, but with no success. This paper addresses lossy channels. The authors repropose multipath routing to enhance TCP performance in lossy environment with heavy interference.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
