Modified TCP Peach Protocol for Satellite based Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
TCP has become the de-facto protocol standard for congestion control in the existing terrestrial Internet. But it was designed keeping in mind low Round Trip Time and low channel error rates typically experienced in a wired network. In this paper we have considered TCP Protocol variants like Tahoe, Reno, New Reno, SACK, FACK, Vegas, Westwood and Peach. TCP Peach is found to be better than the other TCP Protocol variants in case of satellite based networks but its performance also degrades when the packet error probability is high and in cases where there are multiple packet losses in the same window. In this paper a modification has been suggested to the existing PEACH protocol and the modified PEACH Protocol is tested to provide performance improvement especially in the cases where the packet error rate is very high. The modified Peach Protocol has been implemented in the ns2 Simulator and evaluated considering a Geo Satellite Network with varying channel conditions with all other TCP variants.

TCP-Peach and FACK/SACK Options:
TCP-Peach has recently been proposed for IP network scenarios characterized by long round trip times and high bit error rates, such as satellite networks. In the TCPPeach congestion control scheme, Slow Start and Fast Recovery are replaced with new algorithms called Sudden Start and Rapid Recovery. In this paper protocol refinements for TCP-Peach are proposed to allow it to be utilized in coope...
متن کاملTCP-Peach for satellite networks: analytical model and performance evaluation
Current TCP protocols have low throughput performance in satellite networks mainly due to the e!ects of long propagation delays and high link error rates. TCP-Peach is a new congestion control scheme for satellite IP networks based on the use of low priority segments, called dummy segments. The sender transmits dummy segments to probe the availability of network resources. Dummy segments are tr...

TCP protocol is widely used in terrestrial Internet, but the terrestrial TCP protocol satellite cannot be directly applied to satellite network with high-transmission delay and high bit error rate. The congestion control is the most core mechanism of TCP protocol, and has direct impact on the overall performance of transmission. The improved scheme of existing TCP control mechanisms such as TCP...
متن کاملSatellite Transport Protocol (STP): An SSCOP-based Transport Protocol for Datagram Satellite Networks
We describe the adaptation of an ATM-based protocol, the Service Specific Connection Oriented Protocol (SSCOP), for use as a transport protocol in a datagram-based satellite data network. This protocol operates with high throughput and efficiency over links with a large bandwidth-delay product, including those with a high bit error or packet loss rate. We discuss the modifications to SSCOP nece...
متن کاملEnhancement of HSWA-TCP Congestion Avoidance Scheme for High Speed Satellite Communication Network
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the mostly used protocol for data transmission over terrestrialwire line networks. However, TCP‟s congestion control algorithm wasn‟t created to match the special characteristics (long delay and high Bit Error Rate) of satellite links, resulting in a drastically performance degradation. For high speed satellite communication networks to match its chara...
