Fixed-Point Approximations for TCP Performance Over Bandwidth on Demand GEO Satellite Links

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Satellite networks will form part of the future global network infrastructure. One of the key issues for their design and commercial success is the achieved level of integration with the terrestrial networks. In the light of the IP dominance in current data networking, broadband satellite networks can be regarded as subnets over which TCP/IP has to be optimally supported. This research paper investigates the use of fixed-point methods for predicting the performance of multiple TCP flows sharing geostationary satellite links. The analytical approximations show good agreement with simulation results, although they tend to be optimistic when the link is not saturated.
