Analytical model and comparative evaluation of application layer loss in the context of media encapsulation in wireless RTC

Internet firewalls are typically configured to allow web friendly traffic transported by means of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and, simultaneously as security measure, reject any other type of transport. This is a problem for real time communications that heavily rely on transport types like User Datagram Protocol or those associated to the Internet Security Protocol. A mechanism to overcome this limitation is through stream tunneling where media frames that would be typically rejected by firewalls are encapsulated on top of TCP transport. In this paper, a novel mathematical model that links application layer packet loss to bursty network packet loss in the context of fading channels characteristic of wireless communications is presented for both, datagram and stream encapsulation. This model is compared with experimental scenarios of tunneling applied to state of the art speech codecs such that quality scores are obtained and correlated against theoretical results.

TUBA: replacing IP with CLNP

The Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP), which is supported by the associated OSI routing protocols, is proposed as a replacement for the Internet Protocol (IP). The basis of the proposal is to run the Internet transport protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on top of CLNP in an approach known as TCP and UDP with bigger addresses (TUBA). The fundamentals of CLNP and the OSI connectionless routing architecture, the operation of the IP suite with CLNP replacing IP, the support of Internet applications operating on top of TUBA, and a transition plan to a TUBA Internet are discussed     

Internet connection with UMTS

Mobile telecommunication new services are based on data networks specially Internet. These services include http, telnet, ftp, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, etc. Besides, we recognize a mobile network as a multiuser network. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol which is sensitive to link congestion in wireline data links is also used in wireless networks. In order to improve the system performance, the TCP layer uses flow control and congestion control. Besides, radio link control (RLC) and medium access control sublayers have been introduced to compensate the deficiency of TCP layer in wireless environment. RLC has an important role in quality of service enhancement of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). In this paper, we review the protocol stack of UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network which is based on Third-Generation Partnership Project. Then, we evaluate its layer 2 error control mechanisms and verify TCP over automatic repeat request error control mechanism and finally quality of service improvement results from it in fading channels.     

Conversion Between the TCP and ISO Transport Protocols as a Method of Achieving Interoperability Between Data Communications Systems

A solution to the lack of interoperability between the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) data communications standards and the NATO standards based on the International Organization for Standardization concept for open systems interconnection is presented. The solution is based on conversion between a common subset of the US DoD Transmission Control Protocol and the ISO Class 4 Transport Protocol at the Transport layer, which is the first layer offering any end-to-end service.     

mSCTP for soft handover in transport layer

In this letter, we discuss mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) for soft handover in the transport layer. From the experimentations on triggering rules for Add-IP and Primary-Change during the handover, it is shown that the aggressive Add-IP and conservative Primary-Change rules provide better throughput.     

Optimizing Router Performance in TCP/IP Networks

This article will specifically concentrate on Cisco routers, and since they support Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) natively, it will concentrate on a backbone network employing that protocol.     

An analysis of TCP processing overhead

The transport layer of the protocol suite, especially in connectionless protocols, has considerable functionality and is typically executed in software by the host processor at the end points of the network. It is thus considered a likely source of processing overhead. However, a preliminary examination has suggested to the authors that other aspects of networking may be a more serious source of overhead. To test this proposition, a detailed study was made of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the transport protocol from the Internet protocol suite. In this set of protocols, the functions of detecting and recovering lost or corrupted packets, flow control, and multiplexing are performed at the transport level. The results of that study are presented. It is concluded that TCP is in fact not the source of the overhead often observed in packet processing, and that it could support very high speeds if properly implemented

Performance Metrics for IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) Signaling

The IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) working group is developing a set of mechanisms to facilitate migration of mobile users between access networks that use different link-layer technologies. Among these are mobility managers that create and process signaling messages to facilitate handovers. The MIH signaling architecture being developed in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) allows any transport layer protocol to carry MIH messages. The IETF has considered using the unreliable but lightweight transport available with the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as well as the reliable stream-oriented transport with congestion control offered by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In this paper we develop mathematical models that result in expressions for the characteristic function of the time required to complete exchanges of an arbitrary number of MIH signaling messages between a mobile node (MN) and a remote mobility manager (MM). Our models also provide expressions for the average amount of overhead associated with MIH message exchanges due to retransmissions either by the MIH signaling entities or by the transport-layer protocol. In addition, we provide simulation results that confirm the results from the mathematical model and illustrate the effect of varying transport parameters such as the TCP maximum retransmission timeout.

User‐centric context data collection and provision harnessing Content‐Centric Networking paradigm

A comprehensive context management approach is necessary in the era of ubiquitous technologies, and efficient context data collection is one of the most fundamental and important processes for realizing comprehensive context management. Traditional context data collection approaches are based on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over Internet Protocol (IP), which has several disadvantages, such as lack of efficient mobility support, security and data transfer efficiency. Content‐Centric Networking (CCN), on the other hand, provides advantages in terms of mobility, security and bandwidth efficiency in comparison with IP. In this paper, we introduce our user‐centric comprehensive context management framework, and propose a secure and efficient context data collection and provision approach based on the framework using CCN as a network and transport layer. This context collection approach provides a flexible security mechanism by introducing three levels of security type. It also provides bandwidth efficiency by taking advantage of CCN's content caching; performance evaluation results show that our approach can reduce bandwidth consumption up to 99% for pull and up to 46% for push in comparison to a UDP/IP‐based system. Our approach also provides advantages in supporting mobility and leveraging multiple interfaces. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A survey on TCP Incast in data center networks

In high bandwidth, low latency data center networks, when multiple data senders simultaneously communicate with a single receiver, namely in many‐to‐one communication pattern, the burst data overload the receiver's switch buffers, which leads to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) throughput collapse. This is the so‐called TCP Incast problem. It has become a new hot research topic in recent years. Also, many proposals have been put forward from the aspects of multiple layers including link layer, transport layer, and application layer, etc., to mitigate TCP Incast. In this paper, an in‐depth survey on these proposals is given, and the principles, merits, and drawbacks of the main proposals for solving the TCP Incast issue are analyzed and summarized.
