Performance Analysis of TCP in Satellite Environments with Long Propagation Delay
Bing Wang · Communications technology · 2010
Long propagation delay would degrade the performance of TCP in satellite communication systems.TCP performance in satellite environments with long propagation delay during the whole lifetime of a single connection is analyzed.The efficient application of TCP in satellite networks is studied.The initial unsteady state and steady state of the connection establishment are considered.The theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the Goodput performance degrades with the increase of propagation delay for satellite links.
