“…For example, using UDP, we would lose the same packets and not experience retransmission problems, giving us approximately the same gaps in the data playout that we experience using LDC. The reliability can also be achieved by adding user-space mechanisms on top of UDP or DCCP [7], or standards-track extensions to SCTP [9]. Nevertheless, the main problem is the required use of TCP, and we have therefore addressed how we can enhance the TCP API to better support time-dependent data streams.…”

“…Similarly, TCP Urel 2 is an option at the sender-side to TCP, which sends fresh data in every segment regardless of whether the segment is a new packet or a scheduled retransmission. Furthermore, the SCTP [9] partial reliability extension (PR-SCTP) [10] is able to provide some control over data to be sent and retransmitted. With timed reliability it allows to associate a time to live with a packet.…”

“…Many multi-player online games use TCP for the same reasons. Thus, even though we may find appropriate and useful mechanisms for time dependent media delivery in or on top of other transport protocols like UDP, stream control transport protocol (SCTP) [9] and datagram congestion control protocol (DCCP) [7], they are largely ignored by network providers. For this reason we focus on TCP-based solutions.…”

Real-time delivery of time-dependent data over the Internet is challenging. UDP has often been used to transport data in a timely manner, but its lack of congestion control is often criticized. This criticism is a reason that the vast majority of applications today use TCP. The downside of this is that TCP has problems with the timely delivery of data. A transport protocol that adds congestion control to an otherwise UDP-like behaviour is DCCP. For this protocol, late data choice (LDC) [8] has been proposed to allow adaptive applications control over data packets up to the actual transmission time. We find, however, that application developers appreciate other TCP features as well, such as its reliability. We have therefore implemented and tested the LDC ideas for TCP. It allows the application to modify or drop packets that have been handed to TCP until they are actually transmitted to the network. This is achieved with a shared packet ring and indexes to hold the current status. Our experiments show that we can send more useful data with LDC than without in a streaming scenario. We can therefore claim that we achieve a better utilization of the throughput, giving us a higher goodput with LDC than without.

“…Finally, the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [11] is aimed at combining the best features of TCP and UDP, ensuring the delivery of messages with or without order, has congestion control, allows the use of multiple streams and multihoming. These features can be switched on and off in contrast to the existing on TCP and UDP, and in this paper, a configuration similar to TCP has been selected.…”

Communication of large data volumes is a core functionality of distributed systems middleware, namely, for interconnecting components, for distributed computation and for fault tolerance. This common functionality is however achieved in different middleware platforms with various combinations of operating system and application level protocols, both standardized and ad hoc, and including implementations on managed runtime environments such as Java. In this paper, in contrast with most previous work that focus on performance, we point out that architectural and implementation decisions have an impact in throughput stability when the system is heavily loaded, precisely when such stability is most important. In detail, we present an experimental evaluation of several communication protocol components under stress conditions and conclude on the relative merits of several architectural options.

“…One of the key elements to get a stable window growth is the guarantee that ACKs packets will be delivered with the lowest possible latency and there will not be significant ACKs drops in the network. The most used TCP congestion algorithms are HTSCP (RFC 3649), STCP (RFC 3286) [22], and Cubic, which are currently employed on Linux-based machines [23].…”

-Easy usage and integration with various applications made IEEE 802.11 one of the most used technologies these days, both at home and business premises. Over the years, there have been many additional improvements to the 802.11 standards. Nevertheless, the algorithms and Media Access Control (MAC) layer methods are almost the same as in previous Wi-Fi versions. In this paper, a set of methods to improve the total system capacity is proposed -such as efficient transmit power management based on Game Theory with a custom wireless medium protocol. The transmit power management and wireless medium protocol is verified by both simulation and real application scenarios. The results conclude that the capacity of theproposed wireless medium protocol is overall 20 percent higher than the standard 802.11 wireless medium access protocols. Additional TCP Acknowledgment filtering, which was tested together with the proposed wireless medium access protocol, can provide up to 10-percent-higher TCP throughput in high-density scenarios, especially for asymmetrical traffic cases. The conducted research suggests that efficient power management could result in lighter transmit power allocation rules that are currently set by the local regulators for current Wi-Fi devices. Thus, better propagation characteristics and wireless medium management would lead to an overall higher wireless system capacity.
