چکیده

Although the amount of earth science data is growing rapidly, as is the availability of high performance networks, our ability to access large remote earth science data sets is still very limited. This is particularly true of networks with high bandwidth delay products (BDP), such as those between the US and Europe. Recently, several network protocols have emerged that improve the situation and hold the promise of being much more effective than striped TCP. (In striped TCP, data is striped across multiple TCP streams). In this paper, we report on experimental studies using one of these new protocols called UDT, and compare UDT to other approaches. In addition, we consider the effectiveness of these new protocols when reading and writing data from disk over high BDP networks. We also consider the problem of accessing remote data by attribute over these same networks. We show that with the appropriate protocol, accessing data across the Atlantic can be improved significantly. We note that the UDT protocol used here can be deployed as an application library for earth science applications and neither requires upgrades to existing network infrastructure, such as routers, nor to the Linux kernels on the servers involved.

Teraflows over Gigabit WANs with UDT

The TCP transport protocol is currently inefficient for high speed data transfers over long distance networks with high bandwidth delay products. The challenge is to develop a protocol which is fast over networks with high bandwidth delay products, fair to other high volume data streams, and friendly to TCP-based flows. We describe here a UDP based application level transport protocol named UDT...

A Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory

The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...

Autumn Rainfall Anomalies and Regional Atmospheric Circulation along Establishment of Weak La Nina after Strong El Nino in Iran

To study the Iran precipitation anomaly in September to November of 2016 and its probable connection with ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation). This period with similar cases in the previous 55 years (1964, 1983, and 1995 according to forecasting center of NOAA) was investigated. In all cases, ENSO changed from strong El-Nino to weak La-Nina after a very brief neutral period. In the following, o...
