We study the performance of TCP-based media transport when combined with packet path diversity (PPD) in the Internet. We present a simple PPD-TCP transport scheme where the acknowledgments (ACKs) from the receiver are duplicated and sent across independent network paths. We also investigate a PPD-TCP scheme where in addition to path-diversified ACKs on the backward path, packet path diversity i...

As a typical Information Centric Networking, Named Data Networking (NDN) has attracted wide research attentions in recent years. NDN evolves today’s host-centric network architecture TCP/IP to a data-centric network architecture. It turns the end-to-end connection-oriented transport of TCP/IP into receiver-driven connectionless transport. Compared with the traditional TCP/IP networking, the tra...

Multi-path TCP (MP-TCP) has the potential togreatly improve application performance by using multiple pathstransparently. We propose a fluid model for a large class ofMP-TCP algorithms and identify design criteria that guaranteethe existence, uniqueness, and stability of system equilibrium.We clarify how algorithm parameters impact TCP-friendliness,responsiveness, and wi...

The cardinal concept of TCP development was to carry data within the network where network congestion plays a vital role to cause packet loss. On the other hand, there are several other reasons to lose packets in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks due to fading, interfaces, multi-path routing, malicious node, and black hole. Along with throughput, fairness of TCP protocols is important to establish a good ...

In this paper, we investigate TCP performance over a multipath routing protocol. Multipath routing can improve the path availability in mobile environment. Thus, it has a great potential to improve TCP performance in ad hoc networks under mobility. Previous research on multipath routing mostly used UDP traffic for performance evaluation. When TCP is used, we find that most times, using multiple...

Abstract—Multi-path transferring provides higher available bandwidth for a session. It also has the ability to provide load balancing and error resilience for end-to-end multiple paths. One major problem of multi-path transferring scheme is that utilizing different paths with diverse delays causes reordering among packets of the same session. Unfortunately, in the case of TCP-like, the reorderi...

Emerging standardization of Geo Mobile Radio (GMR-1) for satellite system is having strong resemblance to terrestrial GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) at the upper protocol layers and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is one of them. This space segment technology as well as terrestrial technology, is characterized by periodic variations in communication properties and coverage ca...

Today’s mobile terminals have several access network interfaces. New protocols have been proposed during the last few years to enable the concurrent use of multiple access paths for data transmission. In practice, the use of different access technologies is subject to different interconnection costs, and mobile users have preferences on interfaces jointly depending on performance and cost facto...

Many devices contain more than one network interface. There is scope for multi-path transfer to utilise these interfaces simultaneously. Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) designed provide improved resilience and resource utilisation through transfer. One of the key goals MPTCP preserve fair sharing with regular at bottlenecks. Although coupled congestion control algorithms can achieve this goal by couplin...
