TCP - IP White Papers

Performance Comparison of TFRC and TCP

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview TCP congestion control is the most widely used congestion control protocol and a very successful one. It is a special case of Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease congestion control, with Increase parameter set to 1 and decrease parameter set 0.5. The paper calls Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease congestion control as TCP (a, b) in this report, with a standing for increase parameter and b for decrease parameter. With the aim of transmitting voice and video smoothly, TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) was developed.. In this report, the performance of TCP, TCP (a, b) and TFRC in a congested network environment are compared. The effects of Window Size, Queuing mechanisms and Transmission delays are studied.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. Will voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) win the...

Where is the mysterious internet code coming from?

The window size is a parameter used by TCP/IP networks to specify the amount of data, in bytes, that devices can send without receiving an acknowledgment from the receiver. The parameter, normally set by the operating system, can make a network...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

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.
