Optimal Tuning of the TCP Retransmission TimeOut for Small-BDP Lossy Wireless Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview The study discussed in this paper tells about TCP performance over small-BDP lossy wireless networks. The model is based on a feedback queue. It is tailored for the case when TCP operates with small congestion windows. The present approach allows to analyze both standard and transmission loss aware TCP versions. Based on the system load and the average queue size of the packets waiting for transmission, it shows how an optimal value of the Retransmission TimeOut (RTO) can be chosen.

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...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. Just as a web page can be broken up into 'packets', audio can be sampled with a digital signal processor (DSP...

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.
