Experimentation and Modeling of HTTP Over Satellite Channels

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper investigates the performance of various versions of the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over a geosynchronous satellite link. Both HTTP/1.0, the currently popular form of the protocol, and HTTP/1.1, the recently standardized form of HTTP, are studied. The impact of a moderate bit-error rate on the performance of HTTP is quantified. Finally, the mathematical model of HTTP to encompasses a wider range of HTTP behavior is expanded. The paper shows this model accurately predicts HTTP throughput by comparing it with HTTP transfers made over a satellite channel.
