Improving the TCP Performance Based on Satellite Network
Wu Zhen · Communications technology · 2008
The TCP performance is seriously affected by its characters as long delay in satellite channel,the high bit error rate and the large accumulation of bandwidth.This paper,in order to improve the performance of TCP without destroying the content from point to point of TCP,describes a theoretical model,that is a performance enhancing proxies(PEP),to control the transmission between the heterogeneous networks.The model realizes the strategies of controlling and recovering congestion for satellite networks with SACK TCP protocol.The simulation results shows that it can make fully use of the bandwidth of satellite network in order to get the best network throughout.
