Wide Area Networks (WAN) White Papers

Characteristics of Wide-Area TCP/IP Conversations

Tags:
wide area networks (wan)

Overview This paper characterizes wide-area network applications that use the TCP transport protocol. It also describes a new way to model the wide-area traffic generated by a stub network. The authors believe the traffic model presented here will be useful in studying congestion control, routing algorithms, and other resource management schemes for existing and future networks. This model is based on trace analysis of TCP/IP wide-area internetwork traffic. The TCP/IP packet headers of USC, UCB, and Bellcore networks are collected at the point they connect with their respective regional access networks.

Breakthrough protocol offers web turbo boost

Sergei Petrov and Tom Crowley, co-founders of Viewbus, claim the 27 year-old transmission control protocol (TCP), which directs packet data across the internet, can no longer cope with today's traffic levels.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. But just stop for a moment and ask yourself how...

Where is the mysterious internet code coming from?

The data frequently attempted to connect to nonexistent servers or to services not offered by existing servers. In late May, Stewart detected a computer trying to connect to a nonexistent computer on the company's network.

Q&A: Vint Cerf on VoIP

Indeed, Cerf, who created the TCP/IP protocol that defines online communication now spends a good part of his time focused on VoIP, the cheaper form of telephony, expecting it to permanently alter the telephone industry

Comment & Analysis

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. For one, they rely on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which works well for data applications but not as well for latency-sensitive traffic...

Vint Cerf: If I were young, I'd work on space networks

During a question and answer period at the "Internet: Today and Tomorrow" confab, sponsored by Stanford's engineering department, Cerf was asked about his early work on TCP/IP and whether he was influenced by work called PUP (PARC Universal Packet...

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.
