OPNET Model of TCP With Adaptive Delay and Loss Response for Broadband GEO Satellite Networks

Tags:
broadband

Overview Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides reliable transport services for Internet applications. Broadband Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite networks play an important role in providing Internet access and network connectivity. They are characterized by long propagation delays and high bit error rates, which negatively affect TCP performance. The paper proposed a modification of TCP named TCP with adaptive delay and loss response algorithm (TCP-ADaLR) that improves TCP performance in broadband GEO satellite networks. This paper describes the TCP-ADaLR algorithm and its OPNET implementation. It evaluates and compare the performance of TCP-ADaLR, TCP SACK, and TCP NewReno, with and without delayed acknowledgment.

Fly me to the moon (and let us email round the stars)

Because of the long delays in propagating signals across interplanetary space, IPN applications need to operate in a fashion that's much more like an exchange of letters than a telephone call. Vint Cerf (a member of the IPNSIG and one of the...

GPRS networks lose 43 per cent of data

Up to 43 per cent of data packets got lost on the way from the radio terminal to the mast, and the latency - or the delay between a request and a response - was up to five seconds. Conventional applications based on the TCP protocol that underlies...

Latest Sasser variant encourages users to patch

Sasser.E also creates a remote shell on TCP -Transmission Control Protocol - port 1022, rather than 9995. And it also uses file transfer protocol on TCP port 1023, rather than 5554. It appears that whoever released it is trying to notify people...

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

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. Any 'latency' - the delay in delivering the voice stream from the speaker to the listener - degrades the quality of...

Zotob worm fails to wreak havoc

When a target system is found by Zotob, it installs a shell program on the computer that downloads the actual worm code, named Haha.exe, using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The worm, which has spawned at least two variants, exploits a hole in the...

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.
