TCP-Peachtree: A Multicast Transport Protocol for Satellite IP Networks

Tags:
multicasting

Overview In this paper, a reliable multicast transport protocol, TCP-Peachtree, is proposed for satellite IP networks. In addition to the acknowledgment implosion and scalability problems in terrestrial wirelined networks, satellite multicasting has additional problems, i.e., different multicast topology, different type of congestion control problems, and low bandwidth feedback link. In TCP-Peachtree, the modified B+ tree logical hierarchical structure is used to form dynamic multicast groups. Local error recovery and ACK aggregations are performed within each subgroup and also via logical subgroups. In order to avoid the overall performance degradation caused by some worst receivers, a local relay scheme is designed.

Is satellite car-toll tech ready for prime time?

The price would depend on the level of congestion and satellite tracking would be used to enforce the toll. The Conservatives have raised concerns over the technology behind the government's plans to cut congestion by charging motorists for every...

More money for high-tech road pricing

The authorities will now work on assessing the feasibility of schemes combining demand management - such as road pricing - with better public transport, in order to tackle congestion and improve local travelling conditions.

Euro satellite navigation takes to the skies

The answer to congestion is not to add more and more roads said Begg, until last year chairman of the Commission for Integrated Transport. Current congestion charging technology is too expensive to roll out everywhere, while GPS is not accurate...

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.
