Issues in Performance Evaluation of New TCP Stacks in High Speed Networks

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview TCP congestion control has been designed to ensure Internet stability along with fair and efficient allocation of the network bandwidth. With the spreading of high-speed and long-distance networks, the standard TCP congestion control algorithm showed some limitations in exploiting full bandwidth utilization. During the last few years, many new congestion control algorithms have been proposed to improve the classic Reno/NewReno TCP congestion control in such networks. This paper aims at comparing some of the most promising proposals and at investigating the relation between these new congestion control proposals and different bottleneck buffer provisioning rules.

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?
