Improving Transport Control Protocol Performance With Path Error Rate Information

Eddy, Wesley M.

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Computer Science (Engineering).

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)is designed to reliably transmit data over a wide range of network conditions while responding fairly to other traffic when given an indication of congestion. TCP's inability to distinguish between packet losses due to congestion and those due to corruption, however, makes it perform inefficiently on links with a high rate of packet errors. We describe methods for notifying TCP senders of a network path's packet error rate and ways for using this information to increase TCP's performance while still behaving reasonably in response to congestion signals.
