TCP Boston: A Fragmentation-Tolerant TCP Protocol for ATM Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new transport protocol, TCP Boston, that turns ATM's 53-byte cell-oriented switching architecture into an advantage for TCP/IP. At the core of TCP Boston is the Adaptive Information Dispersal Algorithm (AIDA), an efficient encoding technique that allows for dynamic redundancy control. AIDA makes TCP/IP's performance less sensitive to cell losses, thus ensuring a graceful degradation of TCP/IP's performance when faced with congested resources. In this paper, we introduce AIDA and overview the main features of TCP Boston. We present detailed simulation results that show the superiority of our protocol when compared to other adaptations of TCP/IP over ATMs.

Implementation and Performance Evaluation of TCP Boston: A Fragmentation-Tolerant TCP Protocol for ATM Networks
In this paper, we overview the implementation of TCP Boston— a novel fragmentation-tolerant transport protocol, especially suited for ATM's 53-byte cell-oriented switching architecture. TCP Boston integrates a standard TCP/IP protocol, such as Reno or Vegas, with a powerful redundancy control mechanism based on AIDA—an adaptive version of Rabin's IDA dispersal and reconstruction algorithms. Our...

متن کاملA new ATM adaptation layer for TCP/IP over wireless ATM networks
This paper describes the design and performance of a new ATM adaptation layer protocol (AAL-T) for improving TCP performance over wireless ATM networks. The wireless links are characterized by higher error rates and burstier error patterns in comparison with the fiber links for which ATM was introduced in the beginning. Since the low performance of TCP over wireless ATM networks is mainly due t...
متن کاملTcp/ip over Atm - Performance Evaluation and Optimisation
The integration of TCP/IP and ATM is a challenging architectural issue in today’s global networks, where the unique properties of ATM technology can be combined with the TCP/IP mature and well-proven protocol suite. A rigorous characterisation of the performance of TCP/IP over ATM can be a powerful tool for the efficient use of both technologies. TCP error and flow control mechanisms were desig...
متن کاملTcp Performance Improvement over Wireless Atm Networks through a New Aal Protocol
This paper describes the design and simulation of a new AAL protocol (AAL-X) for improving TCP performance over wireless ATM networks. The wireless links are characterized by higher error rates and burstier error patterns in comparison with the fiber-based links for which ATM was designed. Since the poor performance of TCP over wireless ATM networks is mainly due to the fact that TCP always res...
