Congestion Control in Linux TCP

The TCP protocol is used by the majority of the network applications on the Internet. TCP performance is strongly influenced by its congestion control algorithms that limit the amount of transmitted traffic based on the estimated network capacity and utilization. Because the freely available Linux operating system has gained popularity...

On Security in TCP/IP Over Wireless Network

The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is combination of different protocols at various layers. TCP/IP is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet and private networks either an intranet or an extranet. TCP interfaces between the application layer and the network layer. It is a connection oriented, reliable...

TCP's Protocol Radius: The Distance Where Timers Prevent Communication

This paper examines how the design of the Transmission Control Protocol TCP implicitly presumes a limited range of path delays and distances between communicating endpoints. It shows that TCP is less suited to larger delays due to the interaction of various timers present in TCP implementations that limit performance and,...

Modeling the Burstiness of TCP

This paper investigates the burstiness of the Transmission Control Protocol TCP and its impact on a network of finite TCP connections. A detailed TCP and network model is developed to quantify both the burstiness and throughput of TCP connections sharing a single bottleneck router. The ranges of parameters which are...

Passive Identification and Analysis of TCP Anomalies

This paper focuses on passive measurements of TCP traffic, main component of traffic. It proposes a heuristic technique for the classification of the anomalies that may occur during the lifetime of a TCP flow, such as out-of-sequence and duplicate segments. Since TCP is a closed-loop protocol that infers network conditions...

TCP-Fusion: A Hybrid Congestion Control Algorithm for High-Speed Networks

This paper presents a new congestion control algorithm of TCP, called TCP-Fusion, and provides its extensive evaluation results through simulations and implementations. Recently, towards high-speed networks with large bandwidth delay product, a number of different approaches have been proposed to improve TCP performance. However, their potential unfriendliness to TCP-Reno encumbers...

Understanding TCP/IP

The name TCP/IP refers to a suite of data communication protocols. The name is misleading because TCP and IP are only two of dozens of protocols that compose the suite. Its name comes from two of the more important protocols in the suite: the Transmission Control Protocol TCP and the...

On the Evaluation of TCP in MANETs

Past research efforts have denoted the problematic behaviour of traditional TCP agents in MANET environments and have proposed various remedies across the networking stack. However, there has not been an overall performance evaluation of different TCP agents under varying mobility conditions which takes into account past experiences in MANET evaluation....
