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.

A satellite communication system is one of viable solutions for Internet applications running in wide areas. However, the performance of TCP can be seriously degraded in the satellite networks due to long round-trip time (RTT) and high bit error rate (BER) over satellite links. Therefore, a performance enhancing proxy(PEP) based TCP splitting connection scheme is used in the satellite link to improve the TCP performance. In this paper, we implement PEP testbed and conduct experiment to evaluate the performance of TCP splitting connection by comparing with high-speed TCP solutions in various environments. In our experimental environment, we consider multiple connections, high packet loss, and limited bandwidth. The experiment results show that PEP improves the TCP throughput than high-speed TCP variants in various environments. However, there is no improvement of the TCP throughput with the limited bandwidth because there is packet loss caused by both the congestion and the channel error.

In a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) network, many users access a base station (BS), which relays data transferred from high-speed wired network to low-speed wireless network. For this difference of their data rate, a BS suffers from the lack of its buffer space when many users run multiple applications at the same time, and thus packet losses occur. TCP, which guarantees end-to-end reliability, is used as transport protocol also in wireless networks. But TCP lowers their transmission rate incorrectly and frequently whenever packet losses occur. And they increase their transmission rate differently with each other; finally TCP throughput of each TCP flow varies largely, and then TCP fairness goes worse. In this paper, a scheme that controls packet transmission rate adaptively according to TCP flows' transmission rate, that prevents buffer overflows at BS, and that guarantees TCP fairness at a certain degree is proposed. As it is analyzed by simulations, the proposed scheme enhances TCP fairness by maintaining TCP throughput of each TCP sender similarly with each other.

Bandwidth and Buffer are critical network resources to determine the end-to-end quality of service. In this paper, we investigate several techniques on bandwidth and buffer management and classify them according to the types they used for controlling the throughput of a TCP/IP network. Moreover, in this paper, it present a new approach for modeling the active bandwidth and buffer control mechanisms for TCP/IP networks.

In this paper, we proposed a new buffer management algorithm using perVC-Queuing discipline. Proposed algorithm uses service rate estimation and assigns dynamic perVC threshold to each VCs. Service rate estimation and dynamic perVC threshold combined with global threshold provide nearly optimal throughput and improve fairness performance of network resource among GFR VCs as well as guarantee MCR of all VCs. From simulation results, we demonstrate the proposed scheme fulfills the requirement of GFR service as well as improves the TCP throughput.

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.

Where a wireless LAN and a cellular network coexist, a mobile node has to experience vertical handoffs to move between them. Immediately after the vertical handoffs, TCP must need adaptation latency to adjust its congestion window to the proper size at a newly arrived network to use full of a new end-to-end available bandwidth. Even though SACK TCP has the best performance among other regular TCPs in the previous studies, it still cannot use full of the new available bandwidth quickly due to its inefficient increasing way of congestion window. BIC TCP, that becomes a popular TCP in long fat networks, has great feature working well against vertical handoffs by increasing congestion window exponentially with TCP connection sustained. In this paper, we derive adaptation latency of SACK TCP and BIC TCP numerically, and verify them by simulations. We also find that the shorter adaptation latency of BIC TCP produces higher throughput than SACK TCP on vertical handoffs. Consequently, to get higher performance on vertical handoff situations, we propose to use BIC TCP.

Streaming video has become a popular form of transferring media over the wired/wireless network. TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is used as a streaming media transport protocol. Using the TCP congestion response function and current network conditions, TFRC adjusts its sending rate to yield the maximum TCP-friendly throughput. Since TFRC was designed for applications that would prefer to maintain a slowly-changing sending rate, it is less responsive to changes in handover between wireless heterogeneous networks such as 3G network, WLAN, and so on. This paper shows a new TFRC method for vertical handover over wireless heterogeneous network. The proposed TFRC method has features of low quality interruption and fast rate adaptation to a new target network. The simulation results show that the proposed one provides better QoS and throughput support than the traditional TFRC scheme during vertical handover.

ATM network technology is generally used for the solution of integrating multimedia service in high-speed Internet. In Internet protocol based on ATM services, If single cell is lost in ATM layer, the entire TCP packet will be lost. Therefore, TCP performance will be degraded. In order to reduce cell loss, when congestion occur, UBR+EPD mechanism is proposed to improve the throughput in TCP over UBR, and ER scheme is suggested in TCP over ABR. In this paper, we analyzed the performance improvement effect of UBR+EPD with FRR (Fast Retransmission and Recovery), the adjusting EPD threshold parameter (R), and variation of MTU (Maximum Transport Unit) size. As a result, through the analysis of performance, we know that the improved throughput and fairness are shown by the proposed scheme.

Differentiated services network (DiffServ) aims to provide the same service to a group of connections that have similar Quality of Service requirements. One of the essential function to realize DiffServ is the traffic conditioning mechanism. The paper proposes the enhanced traffic conditioning mechanism which can assure the reserved rates of TCP and UDP flows and support fair distribution of excess bandwidth. The simulation results show that the new mechanism is rather insensitive of the effect of UDP against TCP throughput, and performs better both in terms of throughput assurance and fair distribution of excess bandwidth in case of well-provisioned and over-provisioned network environment.
