Reasons Not to Parallelize TCP Connections for Long Fat Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview For utilizing long fat networks effectively, parallel TCP was proposed, and has been employed. However, as high-speed transport-layer protocols appear, it is necessary to reinvestigate the performance of parallel TCP. This paper uses mathematical analysis to explore its performance. Analysis results show that the open issue of choosing the number of TCP connections is difficult to be solved in practice. Despite the mechanism that adjusts the number of TCP connections during data transfer is proposed, some potential problems still remain. In contrast, it is a better choice to use high-speed TCP in your future applications.

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?
