SaTPEP: A TCP Performance Enhancing Proxy for Satellite Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
Satellite link characteristics cause reduced performance in TCP data transfers. In this paper we present SaTPEP, a TCP Performance Enhancing Proxy which attempts to improve TCP performance by performing connection splitting. SaTPEP monitors the satellite link utilization, and assigns to connections window values that reflect the available bandwidth. Loss recovery is based on Negative Acknowledgements. The performance of SaTPEP is investigated in terms of goodput and fairness, through a series of simulation experiments. Results obtained in these experiments, show significant performance improvement in presence of available bandwidth and at high error rates. 1

Modeling split-TCP latency and buffering requirements in GEO satellite networks - Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, 2005 IEEE
The paper addresses the TCP performance enhancing proxy techniques broadly deployed in wireless networks. Drawing on available models for TCP latency, we describe an analytical model for the latency and the buffer requirements related to the split-TCP mechanism. Although the model applicability is broad, we present and evaluate the model in the context of geostationary satellite networks, where...
متن کاملNETWORK SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF ML- IPsec OVER SATELLITE NETWORKS
The peculiar characteristics of the satellite links affect performance of the TCP protocol, largely used by most of the Internet applications. Then, to achieve good performance TCP Performance Enhancing Proxy mechanisms are often used. In principle, a TCP PEP mechanism accelerates TCP transfers requiring access to TCP headers in intermediate nodes. As a drawback, this conflicts with IPsec, whic...
متن کاملMeasurement Based Performance Analysis of Internet over Satellite
Performance enhancing proxies (PEPs) are widely used as a solution to improve the performance of TCP over high delay-bandwidth product links and links with high error probability. In this paper we analyze the performance of using TCP connection splitting in combination with web caches via traces obtained from a commercial satellite system. We examine the resulting performance gain under differe...
متن کاملTcp Performance Using Splitting over the Satellite Link
Satellites represent a well-assessed approach for delivering broadband service. Several satellite systems either currently operating or in various stages of development intend to support applications with increasing data-rates. Of course, to achieve success, these systems must provide Internet services requiring the support of Internet protocols, especially TCP. Unfortunately, TCP suffers from ...
