TCP/IP processing imposes a heavy load on the host CPU when it is processed by the host CPU on a very high-speed network. Recently the TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), which processes TCP/IP on a network adapter instead of the host CPU, has become an attractive solution to reduce the load in the host CPU. There have been two approaches to implement TOE. One is the software TOE in which TCP/IP is processed by an embedded processor and the other is the hardware TOE in which TCP/IP is processed by a dedicated ASIC. The software TOE has poor performance and the hardware TOE is neither flexible nor expandable enough to add new features. In this paper we designed and implemented a hybrid TOE architecture, in which TCP/IP is processed by cooperation of hardware and software, based on an FPGA that has two embedded processor cores. The hybrid TOE can have high performance by processing time-critical operations such as making and processing data packets in hardware. The software based on the embedded Linux performs operations that are not time-critical such as connection establishment, flow control and congestions, thus the hybrid TOE can have enough flexibility and expandability. To improve the performance of the hybrid TOE, we developed a hardware-based transmission/reception accelerator that processes important operations such as creating data packets. In the experiments the hybrid TOE shows the minimum latency of about $19{\mu}s$. The CPU utilization of the hybrid TOE is below 6 % and the maximum bandwidth of the hybrid TOE is about 675 Mbps.

Remote control and monitoring of information appliances require RTOS and TCP/IP network module to communicate each other. Traditional TCP/IP protocol stacks, however, require relatively large resources to be useful in small 8 or 16-bit systems both in terms of code size and memory usage. It motivates design and implementation of micro TCP/IP that is lightweight for embedded systems. Micro embedded web server is also required to control and monitor information appliances through the Web. In this paper, we design and implement micro TCP/IP and Web server for information appliances. For this goal, we investigate requirements for the interoperability of embedded systems with the Internet and the Web-based control of embedded systems. Next, we compare our micro TCP/IP protocol stack with that of RTIP and QPlus in terms of object code size and performance. The size of micro TCP/IP protocol stack can be reduced by 3/2 and 1/4, respectively, comparing with that of RTIP and QPlus. We also show that the performance of our micro TCP/IP is similar to that of RTIP and QPlus since it handles 2.9Mbps when delayed ACK is not adapted.

An implementation scheme and some improvements are proposed to adopt public-licensed operating system, Linux and de-facto world-wide network standard, TCP/IP into the field of behavior-based autonomous mobile robots. To demonstrate the needs of scheme and the improvement, an analysis is performed on a server/client communication problem with real time Linux previously proposed, and another analysis is also performed on interactions among TCP/IP communications and the performance of Linux system using them. Implementation of behavior-based control architecture on real time Linux is proposed firstly. Revised task-scheduling schemes are proposed that can enhance the performance of server/client communication among local tasks on a Linux platform. A new method of TCP/IP packet flow handling is proposed that prioritizes TCP/IP software interrupts with aperiodic server mechanism as well. To evaluate the implementation scheme and the proposed improvements, performance enhancements are shown through some simulations.

In general, standard TCP/IP (transmission control protocol-internet protocol), which is called TCP/IP, is using as the communication basis protocol between any collections of networks that is connected. In this paper, using this TCP/IP implementation of remote control system and suitable program for long distance communication is proposed. This system can make system, which basic Ethernet and TCP/IP used system, to mini modeling, so all module that is using here can be used. Therefore, intention of this paper is to reduce expenses, to effective manage for plant and to increase of productivity as linking each plant of several factory to TCP/IP and Ethernet, and then many control plant and manager minimize the needed course.

Many small-sized real-time kernels do not provide memory management and device drivers, not to mention file management. In this paper, we propose a design and implementation of TCP/IP protocol stack for such small real-time kernels based on [6] where we studied issues to be considered for porting the functionalities of TCP/IP for such small real-time kernels.

내장형 시스템 및 RTOS에 대한 관심이 늘어나면서 낮은 성능의 하드웨어상에서의 네트워킹 기능이 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 기존의 BSD기반의 TCP／IP는 많은 메모리를 필요로 하고 실제로 RTOS에서 자주 사용되지 않는 기능들도 많이 있기 때문에 기존의 TCP／IP 프로토콜 스택의 수정이 불가피하다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 성능의 하드웨어에 적합하게 TCP/IP프로토콜 스택을 경량화하고 메모리 사용에 대한 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있는 프로토콜 스택을 구현하고자 한다.

When using TCP over a mobile network, TCP responds to a handoff by invoking a congestion control algorithm, thereby resulting in a degraded end-to-end performance in a mobile network. In this paper, two schemes are proposed, TCP-MD and TCP-R. TCP-MD can detect the movement of s mobile host early on, whereas TCP-R can force the source to freeze data transmission during registration. The proposed schemes maintain end-to-end TCP semantics, making it possible to fully interoperate with the existing infrastructure. Only a small change is required in the mobile host, plus the implementation is simple because some Mobile IP messages are used to notify the handoff, eliminating the need for any additional messages. Simulations confirmed that the proposed schemes give an excellent performance under various environments.

In this paper, we described the software development for verifying the integrity of output data of TCP/IP for VLBI Correlation Subsystem (VCS) correlation block and proposed the performance improvement method in order to prevent the data loss of correlation output. The VCS correlation results are saved at the Data Archive system through TCP/IP packet transmission. In this paper, the integrity verification software is developed so as to confirm the integrity of correlation result saved at the data archive system using TCP/IP packet information of VCS. The 3-step integrity verification process is proposed by using the developed software, its effectiveness was confirmed in consequence of correlation experiments. In addition, TCP/IP packet transmission must be completed within minimum integration period. However, there is not only TCP/IP packet loss occurred but also the problem of correlation result integrity affected in account of a large quantity of packets and data during short integration time. In this paper, the reason of TCP/IP packet loss is analyzed and the modified methods for FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) of VCS are proposed, the integrity problem of correlation results will be solved.

In the model Utilizing the TCP / IP socket communication to transmit and receive data, if the size of data is small and if data-transmission aren't frequently requested, the importance of communication speed between a server and a client isn't emphasized. But nowadays, it has emerged for large amounts of data transfer requests and frequent data transfer request. This paper propose the TCP/IP communication model that can be improved the data transfer rate in multi-core environment by changing the receiving structure of the client to receive large amounts of data and the transmission structure of the server to send large amounts of data.

위성 ATM 망에서 TCP/IP 기반의 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 위성의 긴 전송지연과 이성 채널의 버스트 오류 특성에 따른 정확한 전송 성능의 영향과 분석이 요구되며, 아울러 성능 목표치가 제시되어야 한다. 본 논문은 2Mbps급 KOREASAT위성을 이용한 위성망과 지상망이 상호 연동된 실제 위성/지상 ATM LANE(LAN Emulation)을 구현하고, 위성 채널의 Eb/No와 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기, 그리고 전송 메시지 크기를 바꾸어 가면서 그때의 TCP/IP 트래픽과 FTP의 전송성능을 비교 분석하였다. 아울러 IPoA(IP over ATM)기반의 영상회의 서비스에 대한 전송 품질 및 메시지 전달 특성 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기가 증가할 때 TCP의 전체 성능이 증가함을 알 수 있으나 제한된 최대 윈도우 크기 64kbytes와 위성채널의 오류 특성으로 인해 실제 최대 전송속도는 이론상의 목표치를 달성하지 못함을 보여 주었다. 또한 2Mbps 위성링크에서 Eb/No가 6dB 이하에서는 실제적으로 제공할 수 있는 최대 전송성능의 50%이하로 떨어져 TCP/IP over ATM 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보여주었다. FTP의 경우, 파일 크기가 작으면 최대 전송속도에 도달하기 전에 파일 전송이 완료되어 대역폭 이용의 효율성 측면에서 TCP/IP의 slow start 메케니즘이 적절하지 않음을 보여주었다. 이울러 IPoA영상회의 서비스에서도 Eb/No가 약 6.5dB 이하에서는 영상이 거의 정지되고, 메시지 전달시간도 ITU에서 권고하는 목표치를 훨씬 상회하여 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보였다.
