Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview As broadband Internet grows in popularity, it is important to determine if improvements can be made to broadband hardware and TCP. Motorola captured three hours of traffic from a cable network, which is analyzed to identify trends that may lead to optimizations in Motorola's hardware. It was found that TCP-SACK provides a performance increase and recommends its further deployment. It was also found that peer-to-peer applications account for a large portion of Internet traffic and suggest measures that may be taken to address this change.
