Explicit Transport Error Notification (ETEN) for Error-Prone Wireless and Satellite Networks - Summary

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper is a summary of the BBN Technical Report No. 8333, "Explicit Transport Error Notification for Error-Prone Wireless and Satellite Networks." The study discusses two types of Explicit Transport Error Notification (ETEN) mechanisms: per-packet mechanisms that notify endpoints of each detected corruption; and cumulative mechanisms that notify endpoints of aggregate corruption statistics. The paper has implemented the proposed mechanisms in the ns-2 simulator. It presents simulation results on performance gains achievable for TCP Reno and TCP SACK, using ETEN mechanisms over a wide range of bit error rates and traffic conditions.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Counterintuitive networks

What is difficult to forecast are the generating mechanisms. In every field of transport the degrees of freedom are always few and limited. For example the road, rail and air transport congestion in the UK now costs far more than all the national...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Why does technology fail?

And now for the quirky mechanisms - us. Some generally unseen mechanisms can often lead to a cascade of technology failures as well. There is no slack - no room for error or failure. Because much of our technology - heat, light, power...

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

If an attacker generated 100 triggering packets per second, and each packet caused 20 minutes of disruption, 120,000 pairs of endpoints could be prevented from communicating at any one time. The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the...

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.
