In this paper we analyse the performance in a satellite environment of two recently proposed modifications to TCP\textquoterights congestion control algorithm, namely Scalable TCP and HighSpeed TCP. These two protocols, originally designed for high-speed backbone links, appear to be major candidates for replacing in the next-generation Internet the current congestion control mechanism implemented by standard TCP. In the paper, we evaluate by means of ns2 simulations the performance of such protocols in a static as well as a mobile satellite environment.

Abstract
In this paper we analyse the performance in a satellite environment of two recently proposed modifications to TCP\textquoterights congestion control algorithm, namely Scalable TCP and HighSpeed TCP. These two protocols, originally designed for high-speed backbone links, appear to be major candidates for replacing in the next-generation Internet the current congestion control mechanism implemented by standard TCP. In the paper, we evaluate by means of ns2 simulations the performance of such protocols in a static as well as a mobile satellite environment. The results provided confirm the soundness of the use of such protocols also in a satellite environment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
