TCP Sending Rate Control at Tera Bits Per Second

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview An analysis of the sending rate of TCP control over Terabit per second rate links illustrates how future optical network characteristics, such as higher bitrates, network congestion, and larger data loads, would affect performance. This paper has implemented a model to allow increased sending rate for TCP. It is shown that even if the network bitrate is higher and the sending rate of TCP is scaled up, the throughput does not grow considerably, and latency remains one of the key parameters which must be reduced to improve performance.

Lack of email and information annoys NTL users

The company is also keen to stress that there should not be problems with sending emails - something that some users have disputed - and that no emails will be lost. Now not only the 150Kbps but also the 600Kbps links are oversubscribed.

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.
