A History of the Improvement of Internet Protocols Over Satellites Using ACTS
Overview This paper outlines the main results of a number of ACTS experiments on the efficacy of using standard Internet protocols over long-delay satellite channels. These experiments have been jointly conducted by NASA's Glenn Research Center and Ohio University over the last six years. The focus of the investigations has been the impact of long-delay networks with non-zero bit-error rates on the performance of the suite of Internet protocols. In particular, the paper has focused on the most widely used transport protocol, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), as well as several application layer protocols. This paper presents the main results, as well as references to more verbose discussions of our experiments.
