Hi Fauzan, I am also involved in the work related to TCP performance over satellite. May be, we can be of mutual help. Well about the information you are asking for, please look at the information below. The NS2 network simulator is a good tool to perform various test simulations. May be spend some time at the website: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ there isn't yet a list of satellite-related research on: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-research.html here's a list I know of to date/token bibliography of satellite networking simulation work resulting from the ns satellite extensions. (The satellite extensions were first included in ns 2.1b6a; use of the satellite plot scripts at http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/ns/sat-plot-scripts/ is indicated with a [*]). The ns satellite extensions are outlined in: Tom Henderson and Randy Katz, "Network Simulation for LEO Satellite Networks," 18th AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC), Oakland, CA, April 10-14, 2000. [*] (and described in a chapter of the ns documentation which you must have noticed) and were used to investigate geographic routing in: Tom Henderson and Randy Katz, "On Distributed, Geographic-Based Packet Routing for LEO Satellite Networks," Proceedings of IEEE Globecom 2000, San Francisco, CA, Nov. 2000. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~tomh/publications.html This is presented in more detail in chapter 6 of: Tom Henderson, "Networking over Next-Generation Satellite Systems", PhD thesis, Dept of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California at Berkeley, Fall 1999. [*] http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~tomh/thesis/ Some examination of TCP goodput across LEO satellite meshes was carried out in: Lloyd Wood, George Pavlou and Barry Evans, "Effects on TCP of routing strategies in satellite constellations", Special issue on Satellite-Based Internet Technology and Services, IEEE Communications Magazine, vol. 39, no. 3, pp. 172-181, March 2001. [*] (DV routing across a static mesh was used for the multipath comparison) and handover discrimination in the presence of diversity was explored in: Lloyd Wood, George Pavlou and Barry Evans, "Managing diversity with handover to provide classes of service in satellite constellation networks", in the proceedings of the AIAA International Communication Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC '01), vol. 3, session 35, no. 194, Toulouse, France, 17-20 April 2001. [*] http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/publications/ Those are written up in more detail in: Lloyd Wood, "Internetworking with satellite constellations", PhD thesis, Centre for Communication Systems Research, University of Surrey, February 2001. [*] http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/publications/PhD-thesis/ There's also: Merkourios Karaliopoulos, Rahim Tafazolli and Barry Evans, "TCP Performance on Split Connection GEO Satellite Links", in the proceedings of the 19th AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC '01), Toulouse, France, 17-20 April 2001.[*] where TCP splitting and terrestrial links were implemented with the ns satellite extensions (no personal webpage). That builds on work described in: Merkourios Karaliopoulos, Rahim Tafazolli and Barry Evans, Enhancing TCP's performance over GEO satellite links with split- connections and link level retransmissions, London Communications Symposium, London, UK, 14-15 September 2000. http://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/lcs/papers2000/content.html which uses ns and snoop, but not the satellite extensions. Please let me know if you need any further information. Best regards, Srinivas At 01:07 PM 6/20/01 +0700, you wrote: >Hi Everyone, > >I'm Fauzan.
