Applying Speculative Technique to Improve TCP Throughput Over Lossy Links
Overview The throughput degradation of Transport Control Protocol (TCP) over lossy links due to the coexistence of congestion losses and link corruption losses is very similar to the degradation of processor performance due to control hazards in CPU design. First, two types of loss events in networks with lossy links can be considered as two possibilities of a branching result (correct speculation vs. incorrect speculation) in a CPU. Secondly, both problems result in performance degradations in their application environments, i.e., penalties (in clock cycles) in a processor, and throughput degradation (in bit per second) in TCP networks.
