Improving TCP Performance Over Long Delay Satellite Links

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview TCP is robust and flexible when operated on wired terrestrial networks. There are problems, however, when TCP is used on long delay satellite links. This paper first studies the effects that these long delays have on TCP, and then it presents a transport layer solution that is implemented in OPNET 7.0. This solution enables TCP to share congestion control information among connections between the same host-pair. The shared information is used to speed up new connections to the same destination, and to coordinate concurrent connections in order to reduce the possibility of congestion losses.

What are IP VPNs good for?

While acknowledging IPSec's role in supporting users at satellite offices, BT's Logan says the bulk of big corporate network users are plumping for an MPLS IP VPN, perhaps because it handles voice so well thanks to its prioritisation capabilities.

Pay-per-mile road charging 'will raise £28bn'

The UK transport system supports 61 billion passenger journeys and 250 billion tonne-kilometres of goods moved a year but the report claims congestion on the roads, if unchecked, will increase costs to businesses and freight by over £10bn a year...

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.
