TCP Extensions Considered Harmful

Inappropriate TCP Resets Considered Harmful

TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions

This document contains a "roadmap" to the Requests for Comments (RFC) documents relating to the Internet’s Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This roadmap provides a brief summary of the documents defining TCP and various TCP extensions that have accumulated in the RFC series. This serves as a guide and quick reference for both TCP implementers and other parties who desire information contain...

Threat Analysis for TCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple Addresses

Multipath TCP (MPTCP for short) describes the extensions proposed for TCP so that endpoints of a given TCP connection can use multiple paths to exchange data. Such extensions enable the exchange of segments using different source-destination address pairs, resulting in the capability of using multiple paths in a significant number of scenarios. Some level of multihoming and mobility support can...

Transport Protocols for Large Bandwidth-Delay Product Networks - TCP Extensions and Alternative Transport Protocols

TCP’s poor performance is identified as the bottleneck of high-speed networks. Extensions to TCP have been proposed and implemented. Some authors abandon TCP at all and suggest new transport protocols to overcome TCP limitations, at the expense of compatibility. This paper reports a research on the most significant TCP extensions and transport alternatives, and comparison between them. The majo...

Simulation Based Analysis of the Impact of Hidden Terminal to the TCP Performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

The hidden terminal is classified as the sending hidden terminal and receiving hidden terminal in this paper. The quantitive analysis of hidden terminal problem and simulation-based analysis of its mechanism is discussed. Through the extensive ns2 simulations the detail comparison for the impact of sending hidden terminal and receiving hidden terminal to the performance of TCP is also given. Th...
