TCP Hybla: a TCP enhancement for heterogeneous networks

TCP Hybla: a TCP enhancement for heterogeneous networks

In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper. It stems from an analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in t...

TCP Enhancements for Heterogeneous Networks

TCP Veno: TCP enhancement for transmission over wireless access networks

Wireless access networks in the form of wireless local area networks, home networks, and cellular networks are becoming an integral part of the Internet. Unlike wired networks, random packet loss due to bit errors is not negligible in wireless networks, and this causes significant performance degradation of transmission control protocol (TCP). We propose and study a novel end-to-end congestion ...

TCP BaLDE for Improving TCP Performance over Heterogeneous Networks

Network congestion and random errors of wireless link are two well-known noteworthy parameters which degrade the TCP performance over heterogeneous networks. We put forward a novel end-to-end TCP congestion control mechanism, namely TCP BaLDE (Bandwidth and Loss Differentiation Estimate), in which the TCP congestion control categorizes the reason of the packet loss by estimating loss differenti...

Packet Pairing for Tcp in Heterogeneous Networks

Since the early days of the Internet, TCP has been the premier transport protocol for most if not all applications. TCP predates IP and was designed to run over any packet-switching wireline network environment where errors due to the underlining medium are an exception rather then a rule. This complex protocol, in addition to many services such as flow control, congestion management and reliab...
