Performance Enhanced Proxy Solutions for Satellite Networks: State of the Art, Protocol Stack and Possible Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are many types of Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs). Different types of PEPs are used in different environments to overcome different link characteristics which affect protocol performance [1]. The main examples concerns satellite and wireless networks, which represent the most challenging environments. In the following, the main concepts representing the state of the art of the PEP will be introduced. An extension to the ETSI Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM) is proposed, in order to include PEP interfaces.

متن کاملNetwork Architectures to Improve the Performance of the Transport Layer in Satellite Communications
The paper began proposing two possible frameworks where the different solutions to improve the performance of the transport layer over satellite channels may be classified: the Black Box (BB) approach and the Complete Knowledge (CK) approach. The former implies that only the end terminals may be modified; the rest of the network is considered non-accessible (i.e. a black box). The latter allows...
