TCP Internal Buffers Optimization for Fast Long-Distance Links

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In recent years, issues regarding the behavior of TCP in high-speed and long-distance networks have been extensively addressed in the networking research community, both because TCP is the most widespread transport protocol in the current Internet and because bandwidth-delay product continues to grow. The well known problem of TCP in high bandwidth-delay product networks is that the TCP Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease AIMD probing mechanism is too slow in adapting the sending rate to the end-to-end available bandwidth. To overcome this problem, many modifications have been proposed such as FAST TCP, STCP, HSTCP, HTCP, BIC TCP and CUBIC TCP.

GPRS networks lose 43 per cent of data

Up to 43 per cent of data packets got lost on the way from the radio terminal to the mast, and the latency - or the delay between a request and a response - was up to five seconds. Conventional applications based on the TCP protocol that underlies...

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

Iain Stevenson, networking analyst at Ovum, put it like this: "MPLS is a mechanism for labelling traffic flows to define a path through a complex network. It's currently very difficult to put applications that are delay-sensitive over the net.

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.
