TCP Adaptive RTO to Improve TCP Performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In a mobile ad hoc network, temporary link failures and route changes occur frequently. With the assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion, TCP performs poorly in such an environment. This paper proposes a new mechanism called TCP Adaptive RTO (TCP AR) that improves TCP performance in mobile ad hoc network s. TCP AR distinguishes routes failures from network congestion and adapts the RTO's value to network conditions. For this purpose it relies on the estimation of the network's throughput.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

A network operator can use MPLS as a management tool, as capacity and routes can be seen. Traditionally, a packet of data sent over an IP network goes straight from the original point to the receiving point following the shortest possible route...

Slammer time - SQL worm brings net to its knees over weekend

SQL uses a keep-alive mechanism to distinguish between active and passive instances but the flaw means that if a particular data packet is sent to the SQL Server 2000 keep-alive function, it will reply to the sender with an identical packet.

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

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

Congestion-busting signs tested on motorway

By telling motorists of conditions ahead in real-time the idea is they will be able to change their route when there are problems and so cut congestion. More than 200,000 vehicles per day travel on these routes.

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?
