How Network Asymmetry Affects Transport Protocols1
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Several emerging wireline and wireless access network technologies exhibit asymmetry in their network characteristics. For instance, cable modem networks exhibit significant bandwidth asymmetry while packet radio networks exhibit media access asymmetry. A high degree of asymmetry can have an adverse effect on the performance of feedbackbased transport protocols. In this article, we study the effects of bandwidth and media access asymmetry on the performance of the TCP protocol. We identify the fundamental reasons for the mismatch between TCP and asymmetric networks and then present several techniques to address this problem.

In-Band Asymmetry Compensation for Accurate Time/Phase Transport over Optical Transport Network
The demands of precise time/phase synchronization have been increasing recently due to the next generation of telecommunication synchronization. This paper studies the issues that are relevant to distributing accurate time/phase over optical transport network (OTN). Each node and link can introduce asymmetry, which affects the adequate time/phase accuracy over the networks. In order to achieve ...
متن کاملCharge and spin transport in spin valves with anisotropic spin relaxation
We investigate effects of spin-orbit splitting on electronic transport in a spin valve consisting of a large quantum dot defined on a two-dimensional electron gas with two ferromagnetic contacts. In the presence of both structure and bulk inversion asymmetry a giant anisotropy in the spin-relaxation times has been predicted. We show how such an anisotropy affects the electronic transport proper...
متن کاملAlternative transport network designs and their implications for intermodal transhipment technologies
Six principles for operation of the rail part of intermodal rail freight transport systems are described: direct link, corridor, hub-and-spoke, connected hubs, static routes, and dynamic routes. The first part is a theoretical discussion of the characteristics of the transport network designs. The theory is then applied to intermodal freight transport by analysing how each transport network des...

inhibitors at developing frog embryos. Many of the chemicals that disrupted LR asymmetry (e.g., caused the normally leftlying heart to be situated on the right) displayed a common attribute: they influenced potassium transport into or out of the cell. More specific compounds revealed that inhibiting the H /K ATPase transporter upset asymmetric gene expression patterns known to dictate the hemis...
متن کاملA human acinar structure for simulation of realistic alveolar plateau slopes.
We simulated the intra-acinar contribution to phase III slope (S(acin)) for gases of differing diffusivities (He and SF(6)) by solving equations of diffusive and convective gas transport in multi-branch-point models (MBPM) of the human acinus. We first conducted a sensitivity study of S(acin) to asymmetry and its variability in successive generations. S(acin) increases were greatest when asymme...
