Avoiding Spurious TCP Timeouts in Wireless Networks by Delay Injection

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has been designed to provide reliable transport of packets by adjusting the transmission rate to the network congestion level. While TCP can adapt to small fluctuations in the delay between the sender and the receiver, adverse affects (most importantly spurious timeouts) have been observed under large delay variability. This paper exhibits the presence of such delay spikes in wireless networks and discusses their possible origins. Then it investigates a new methodology for avoiding spurious TCP timeouts by appropriately injecting additional random delay along the communication path.

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.
