An Enhancement Scheme for TCP Over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In a Mobile Ad Hoc Network, temporary link failures and route changes occur frequently. With the assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion, TCP performs poorly in such an environment. This paper proposes a new mechanism called TSR, TCP-aware Source Routing, which can improve TCP performance in wireless ad hoc networks. TSR adds a hold state to an existing routing protocol to reduce consecutive timeouts, retransmissions, and out-of-ordered packets in TCP.

Slammer time - SQL worm brings net to its knees over weekend

Microsoft spokesman Rick Miller was quoted in USA Today as confirming that internet congestion was interfering with administrators trying to download the patch. The same congestion also completely prevented consumers from contacting Microsoft over...

'Selfish' routers slow the internet

To improve how routers direct traffic, Roughgarden suggested they consider not only which route is least congested, but also how sending packets in that direction would affect that path. That's the conclusion two Cornell University computer...

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

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. For non-real time applications such as email and...

Butler on: Collaboration

This is great in terms of improving automation, and the routing of information. On the other hand, ad hoc, unstructured collaboration can dramatically improve personal productivity, reducing the time spent searching for information or chasing answers.

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. The Net6 device sends false TCP acknowledgements so that the sender continues sending packets. Murli Thirumale, Net6's chief executive officer...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packet is forwarded along the most suitable route and so on. The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. When packets arrive at their destination, they can...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
