M-TCP+: Using Disconnection Feedback to Improve Performance of TCP in Wired/Wireless Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper proposes the M-TCP+ algorithm for heterogeneous wired/wireless networks. The algorithm is a modification of M-TCP that was proposed for deployment in mobile cellular networks. It is recommended that Internet hosts enable the delayed acknowledgement (delayed ACK) option to maximize network bandwidth by reducing the number of ACKs sent to a TCP sender by a TCP receiver. The M-TCP+ algorithm performs best when the TCP delayed ACK option is enabled. The algorithm relies on feedback sent from a wireless host in anticipation of disconnections. The paper compares the performance of the MTCP+ algorithm with the performance of M-TCP, TCP NewReno, and TCP SACK in both the absence and the presence of disconnections for a file transfer protocol (download) application.

Latest Sasser variant encourages users to patch

And it also uses file transfer protocol on TCP port 1023, rather than 5554. Sasser.E also creates a remote shell on TCP -Transmission Control Protocol - port 1022, rather than 9995. Antivirus companies discovered a fifth version of the Sasser...

Virus warning: Dabber picks up Sasser's scraps

In this case, the file transfer protocol (FTP) server installed by Sasser to enable the worm to transfer itself to new hosts has a buffer-overflow vulnerability. Once it copies itself to a new host, the worm will change the system settings so that...

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. For one, they rely on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which works well for data applications but not as well for latency-sensitive traffic...

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?
