TCP-RTM: Using TCP for Real Time Multimedia Applications

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview By conventional wisdom dating back to the genesis of the Internet, TCP is not suitable for realtime applications because it favors reliability over timeliness. The result has been a proliferation of application-specific and candidate real-time transport protocols, none of which has achieved the maturity and acceptance of TCP. There has not been much prior study to ask the basic engineering question: What changes in TCP and its use would be required to allow it to be used for real-time network applications of interest? This paper investigates exactly this question.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Reliability and downtime

Reliability is directly related to technological maturity and, as a general rule, the more we use and engage with a technology, the better we understand it and the more likely we are to achieve high reliability.

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

The public internet is seen as the ideal transport network for this as long as the service level is understood to be 'best effort'. This, among other vertical industry applications, requires a WAN of much higher reliability and predictability than...

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.
