TCP Over High Speed Variable Capacity Links: A Simulation Study for Bandwidth Allocation

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview New optical network technologies provide opportunities for fast, controllable bandwidth management. These technologies can now explicitly provide resources to data paths, creating demand driven bandwidth reservation across networks where an applications bandwidth needs can be meet almost exactly. Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) is a gigabit network technology that provides channels with dynamically adjustable capacity. TCP is a reliable end-to-end transport protocol that adapts its rate to the available capacity. Both TCP and the DTM bandwidth can react to changes in the network load, creating a complex system with inter-dependent feedback mechanisms.

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

In short, this pipe is fat, fast and cheap, leading to rumors that it may be the packet protocol to push Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and its circuit-switched cronies out of their exclusive oasis they call the WAN.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

An MPLS network will run over whichever mix of networking technologies it faces, including Ethernet, ATM and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). Are we on the verge of a step-change in the quality of networking, a change that will put what we've...

Ethernet promises cheaper broadband

However, few people have the necessary fibre-optics to their home or office, and service providers have so far based their networks on the rival ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) protocol. Instead of adding more expensive ATM channels for new...

Nortel to showcase networking breakthrough

Today's high-capacity networks support speeds of 10Gbps, which is enough bandwidth to transfer about 1,000 high-definition television channels simultaneously. Nortel Networks has said it has developed new optical networking gear that can quadruple...

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.
