TCP HandOff: A Practical TCP Enhancement for Heterogeneous Mobile Environments

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Many different kinds of wireless access networks have been deployed for the Internet and have become inseparable parts of the Internet. But TCP, the most widely used transport protocol of the Internet, was designed for stationery hosts. In particular, TCP faces severe challenges when user moves around in these networks and handoff occurs frequently. In this paper, TCP HandOff (TCP-HO), a practical end-to-end mechanism, is proposed for improving TCP performance in heterogeneous mobile environments. TCP-HO assumes that a mobile host is able to detect the completion of handoff immediately and has a coarse estimation of new wireless link's bandwidth.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready for action'

All that is set to change with the advent of carrier-class Ethernet services and transport. There is plenty of bandwidth in the long-haul networks between population centres and in LANs, but still a shortage of bandwidth within the metro area.

Web services - the only way to make Wi-Fi fly for business?

The transport for web services does not have to be HTTP. Other transport standards could be used, such as the JMS Java messaging standard, said O'Brien. These assume the client is continually connected, and break when the connection fails, or...

What's the bottom line value of IP?

In theory, swapping out old 64k Frame Relay leased lines for new IP connections offers greater bandwidth flexibility at cheaper underlying prices, as well as a host of new services such as IP VPNs, IP storage and videoconferencing.

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?
