TCP Congestion Control Over 3G Communication Systems: An Experimental Evaluation of New Reno, BIC and Westwood+

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview One of TCP's key tasks is to react and avoid network congestion episodes which nor-mally arise in packet switched networks. A wide literature is available concerning the behaviour of congestion control algorithms in many different scenarios and several congestion control algorithms have been proposed in order to improve performances in specific scenarios. This paper focuses on the UMTS wireless scenario and it reports a campaign of measurements that involved around 3000 flows and more than 40 hours of measurements using three different TCP stacks: TCP NewReno, which is the congestion control algorithm standardized by IETF, TCP BIC which is the default congestion control algorithm adopted by the Linux operating system, and TCP Westwood+ also available in the Linux kernel.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

The move from circuit- to packet-switched IP networks leaves communications companies in a strange position. It was the need for computer communication that created the packet switched philosophy to obviate the need for 100 per cent dedicated...

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.
