Performance Evaluation of TCP/IP Over EDGE

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) provides an evolutionary path from existing cellular systems such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) for delivering higher bit rate services that facilitate wireless Internet access. Thus, EDGE only defines a new radio access technology to achieve higher bit rates. This paper investigates the performance of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) over the enhanced packet-switched transmission mode of EDGE, i.e., Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS). The Network Simulator (ns) tool was used in the simulation. The performance of TCP was examined under various channel conditions with and with-out the link adaptation scheme of EGPRS. The link adaptation scheme improves the TCP performance under poor channel conditions.

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.
