Goodput Optimisation of Long-Lived TCP Connections in a Rain-Faded Satellite Channel
Overview The optimization of the end-to-end throughput of a TCP connection over geostationary satellite links is a challenging research topic because the high delay-bandwidth product, together with a non-negligible random loss of packets, are conditions which differ considerably from the original environment for which TCP was originally designed. As a result, TCP performance is significantly impaired by the channel bit error rate. This paper investigates the application of different FEC (Forward Error Correction) types/rates and different bit rates, for the optimization of TCP goodput, in transmissions over a rain-faded geostationary satellite channel, provided that the end-to-end protocols are left unaltered.
