There have been several efforts to avoid unnecessary retransmission timeouts (RTOs), which is the main cause for TCP throughput degradation. Unnecessary RTOs can be classified into three groups according to their cause. RTOs due to multiple packet losses in the same window for TCP Reno, the most prevalent TCP version, can be avoided by TCP NewReno or using selective acknowledgement (SACK) option. RTOs occurring when a packet is lost in a window that is not large enough to trigger fast retransmit can be avoided by using the Limited Transmit algorithm. In this Paper, we comparatively analyze these schemes to cope with unnecessary RTOs by numerical analysis and simulations. On the basis of the results in this paper, TCP performance can be quantitatively predicted from the aspect of loss recovery probability. Considering that overall performance of TCP is largely dependent upon the loss recovery performance, the results shown in this paper are of great importance.

Overall TCP performance represented by end-to-end throughput is largely dependent upon its loss recovery performance. In particular non-congestion packet losses caused by transmission errors degrade TCP performance seriously. Using Markov process, we analyze TCP loss recovery performance for correlated packet losses caused by multipath fading. The results show that loss recovery performance can be severely affected by burstiness in packet losses, even if overall packet loss ratio is very low.

In recent yeats, SCTP is known as the next transport layer protocol for connection-oriented and reliable data transfer after TCP/UDP. The SCTP was developed on the basis of the existing TCP and was designed to eliminate defects of TCP. SCTP has the different characteristic of multi-streaming and multi-homing from TCP. In this paper, we studied the defects of the performance of communication using the traits of multi-homing. And we evaluated the efficiency for each application services on the basis of SCTP of IPv6. Also, we analysed the delay time of a packet using SCTP and TCP. We noticed that the efficiency of SCTP is better than that of TCP.

본 논문에서는 TCP플로우에 QoS를 적용하였을 때 나타나는 특성을 측정 및 분석하였다. 이를 위해, TCP 플로우의 성능에 관한 수학적 모델을 설명하고, QoS testbed를 통한 실험을 통해 성능을 측정하였다. 이때, Cisco 라우터에서 제공하는 DiffServ 모듈을 이용하여 QoS적용시 나타나는 성능향상을 관찰함으로써, QoS의 적용이 TCP에 미치는 영향을 비교분석 하였다.

Even though a lot of researches to improve the performance of TCP over wireless networks have been performed, the performance of TCP cannot satisfy users under high packet loss rate of wireless networks. This paper addresses the problem of TCP Westwood under high packet loss rate and reveals the reasons through the extensive simulation analysis. The ABE(Available Bandwidth Estimation) of TCP westwood becomes incorrect due to TCP dynamics of loss recovery. Based on this observation, we propose two algorithms for enhancing the correctness of ABE. We have evaluated the effects of the proposed algorithms through simulation. The proposed algorithms have achieved more correct ABE under the packet loss rate less than 1%.

The performance of transmission control protocol (TCP) is largely dependent upon its loss recovery. Therefore, it is a very important issue whether the packet losses may be recovered without retransmission timeout (RTO) or not. Although TCP SACK can recover multiple packet losses in a window, it cannot avoid RTO if a retransmitted packet is lost again. In order to alleviate this problem, we propose a simple change to TCP SACK, which is called TCP SACK+ in simple. We use a stochastic model to evaluate the performance of TCP SACK+, and compare it with TCP SACK. Numerical results evaluated by simulations show that SACK+ can improve the loss recovery of TCP SACK significantly in presence of random losses.

OBS망에서 버스트의 충돌로 인한 버스트의 drop은 TCP의 성능에 중요한 영향을 끼치나, 기존의 drop policy에서는 이를 고려하지 않으며 TCP에 대한 연구로는 버스트의 assembling이 주를 이루고 있다. 본 논문에서는 OBS망에서 TCP의 재전송 문제를 drop policy와 연계하여 그 성능을 향상시키고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 drop policy는 버스트의 재전송 횟수가 더 작은 버스트를 drop시키는 TCP 기반 DP이다. TCP 기반 DP 모델과 일반적인 DP 모델의 성능을 ns­2를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가하며, 이 때 시간의 변화에 따른 TCP throughput과 패킷의 drop rate을 비교 분석한다.

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is one of the most important Internet protocols, which is widely used in wireless networks as well as wired networks. However, when TCP is deployed for wireless networks, it takes severe performance degradation because TCP was designed for wired network. To overcome this drawback, a number of TCP variants have been proposed in the literature. However, most previous schemes did not consider TCP enhancement over heterogeneous networks. In heterogeneous networks, an mobile node (MN) may move from one access network to another(i.e., vertical handover). In the case of vertical handover, an MN experiences a TCP performance degradation caused by the packet loss and the sudden change of link characteristics between two different access networks. In this work, we investigate the TCP performance degradation occurred in vortical handover across heterogeneous networks. First, we have conducted the measurement study over GPRS-WLAN testbed. In the measurement study. we observed the TCP performance degradation in the case of handover from WLAN to GPRS. In order to study more different TCP behaviors during vertical handover, we performed comprehensive simulations using a network simulator 2(ns-2). Based on measurement and simulation results, we investigated how to improve TCP performance in vertical handover and we concluded that the existing mechanisms cannot be perfect solutions and new mechanisms are strongly required.

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.

In this paper, in order to improve the performance of TCP short traffic application services in wireless Internet environments, the Split-ACKs (SPACK) scheme is proposed. In wireless networks, unlike wired networks, packet losses will occur more often due to high bit error rates. Therefore, each packet loss over wireless lints results in congestion control procedure of TCP being invoked at the source. This causes severe end-to-end Performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, to alleviate the TCP Performance, the SPACK method, split acknowledgement Packets in the base station, is proposed. Using computer simulation, the performance of TCP using SPACK is analysed and shows better performance than traditional TCP Protocol.
