Hi Everyone,
Attached is a paper which was accepted for publication in Globecomm'99, but
couldn't be published due to some unavoidable conditions.
I do not intend to publish it, and it is available for use via this mailing
list.
In brief, it presents a protocol which improves TCP performance over
satellite links by suppressing all the duplicate acknowledgements which
arise due to losses over the satellite link. As these duplicate
acknowledgments do not reach the sender TCP, the satellite channel losses
become transparent to the sender TCP.
This paper presents a design which works when the satellite link could be
any intermediate hop in the network. It remains completely transparent to
the end hosts and the rest of the network, as only the satellite channel's
end points require the implementation of the design. It preserves all TCP
semantics.
The email address shown in the paper no longer exists. If you have some
questions regarding the design, you can ask me over the mailing list or at
[email protected].
Regards,
Ketan
