It avoids multiple window reductions in one window of data and constrains the bursti- ness of the sender upon leaving fast recovery. Selective acknowledgments SACKs are used by the receiver to pro- vide exact information about the packets correctly arrived.
During the fast re-trans- mission phase, the sender first retransmits all suspectly lost packets before sending new ones. This allows to recover from several lost segments within one RTT. The unmodified fast re-transmit and recovery algorithm, as implemented in TCP Reno, is detrimental to TCP performance due to the burstiness of packet loss in a satellite environment. Window Size. Besides, the probability is high that several TCP connections will be simultaneously present on a satellite channel, reducing the need for window sizes equivalent to the bandwidth-delay-product.
If the receiver employs delayed ACKs, only every second segment is confirmed. In order to reduce the cost of fragmentation and reas- sembly, Path MTU discovery as defined in [MD90] should be performed. Round Trip Time Measurement. Well chosen values of the re-transmission time- out RTO become essential when dealing with large congestion windows as an a prior expiration of the RTO results in heavy, unnecessary retransmits.
Round trip time measurements utilizing the time-stamp option are a recommended. Larger Initial Congestion Window. Critical in terms of wasted capacity is the time spent in the initial slow start phase. Tak- ing into account that one third of traffic flows have between and 1, bytes [FRC98], the transmission might be handled within one RTT of data exchange. TCP Extensions for Transactions. In a satellite environment, the three way hand- shake of standard TCP adds an extra RTT to the latency of a transaction.
Buffer Size. TCP performs better with increasing buffers; buffer sizes greater then 0. Buffering Drop Policies. For long-delay satellite networks, drop policies have no significant effect in terms of fairness and efficiency of TCP connections. Rate Guarantees. Even though rate guarantees do not increase TCP performance when compared to end-system-policies, they assure a minimum flow of status information RTT measurements etc.
In a second phase, the tuning might become a matter of automation. Due to their minor influence on TCP efficiency compared to TCP flavor, drop policies and rate guarantees are not mandatory for the demonstrator. Allman, D. Glover, L. Allman, V. Paxson, and W.

A short summary of this paper. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved. From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, containing communication technologies for a single network segment link ; the internet layer, connecting hosts across independent networks, thus establishing internetworking; the transport layer handling host-to-host communication; and the application layer, which provides process-to-process application data exchange.
The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message.
The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets from the same message are routed differently than others, they'll be reassembled at the destination [1].
These protocols encapsulate the IP packets so that they can be sent over the dial- up phone connection to an access provider's modem [2]. Other protocols are used by network host computers for exchanging router information. In , Robert E. Kahn joined the DARPA Information Processing Technology Office, where he worked on both satellite packet networks and ground-based radio packet networks, and recognized the value of being able to communicate across both.
By the summer of , Kahn and Cerf had worked out a fundamental reformulation, in which the differences between network protocols were hidden by using a common internetwork protocol, and, instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible. The design of the network included the recognition that it should provide only the functions of efficiently transmitting and routing traffic between end nodes and that all other intelligence should be located at the edge of the network, in the end nodes.
Using a simple design, it became possible to connect almost any network to the ARPANET, irrespective of the local characteristics, thereby solving Kahn's initial problem. A computer called a router is provided with an interface to each network. It forwards packets back and forth between them.
Originally a router was called gateway, but the term was changed to avoid confusion with other types of gateways. Its original expression put the maintenance of state and overall intelligence at the edges, and assumed the Internet that connected the edges retained no state and concentrated on speed and simplicity.
Real-world needs for firewalls, network address translators, web content caches and the like have forced changes in this principle. Robustness Principle: "In general, an implementation must be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior. That is, it must be careful to send well-formed datagrams, but must accept any datagram that it can interpret.
The second part of the principle is almost as important: software on other hosts may contain deficiencies that make it unwise to exploit legal but obscure protocol features. Encapsulation is usually aligned with the division of the protocol suite into layers of general functionality.
In general, an application uses a set of protocols to send its data down the layers, being further encapsulated at each level. The layers of the protocol suite near the top are logically closer to the user application, while those near the bottom are logically closer to the physical transmission of the data [5]. Viewing layers as providing or consuming a service is a method of abstraction to isolate upper layer protocols from the details of transmitting bits over, for example, Ethernet and collision detection, while the lower layers avoid having to know the details of each and every application and its protocol.
Even when the layers are examined, the assorted architectural documents— there is no single architectural model such as ISO , the Open Systems Interconnection OSI model have fewer and less rigidly defined layers than the OSI model, and thus provide an easier fit for real-world protocols.
It only refers to the existence of the internetworking layer and generally to upper layers; this document was intended as a snapshot of the architecture: "The Internet and its architecture have grown in evolutionary fashion from modest beginnings, rather than from a Grand Plan.
While this process of evolution is one of the main reasons for the technology's success, it nevertheless seems useful to record a snapshot of the current principles of the Internet architecture. The applications, or processes, make use of the services provided by the underlying, lower layers, especially the Transport Layer which provides reliable or unreliable pipes to other processes. The communications partners are characterized by the application architecture, such as the client-server model and peer-to-peer networking.
Processes are addressed via ports which essentially represent services. It provides a channel for the communication needs of applications. UDP is the basic transport layer protocol, providing an unreliable datagram service. The Transmission Control Protocol provides flow-control, connection establishment, and reliable transmission of data. It provides a uniform networking interface that hides the actual topology layout of the underlying network connections. It is therefore also referred to as the layer that establishes internetworking, indeed, it defines and establishes the Internet.
The primary protocol in this scope is the Internet Protocol, which defines IP addresses. Its function in routing is to transport datagrams to the next IP router that has the connectivity to a network closer to the final data destination.
This layer includes the protocols used to describe the local network topology and the interfaces needed to effect transmission of Internet layer datagrams to next- neighbor hosts [6]. The Internet protocol suite and the layered protocol stack design were in use before the OSI model was established.
The basic packet consists of a header with the sending and receiving systems' addresses, and a body, or payload, with the data to be transferred. When a protocol on the sending system adds data to the packet header, the process is called data encapsulation [7].
Moreover, each layer has a different term for the altered packet, as shown in the following figure. Information in the IP header includes the IP addresses of the sending and receiving hosts, the datagram length, and the datagram sequence order. This information is provided if the datagram exceeds the allowable byte size for network packets and must be fragmented. When an RST packet is transmitted or received, information on as many as 10 packets, which were just transmitted, is logged with the connection information.
