无线网络中TCP与Ipsec的兼容性研究

针对有线网络设计的传输控制协议(TCP),在应用到无线环境中时存在许多不兼容问题,必须对TCP进行修改.目前人们提出了几种对TCP协议在无线网络环境下的改进方案,但是这些改进方案同IP安全协议(IPsec)存在一定的中突.文章分析了IPsec与TCP的改进方案之间的冲突问题,给出了4种解决方案:用传输层安全协议/安全套接层协议(TLS/SSL)代替IPsec、扩展封装安全载荷(ESP)协议、对TCP路径分段和修改IPsec的端到端保护模式,并分析了各方案的优缺点.

TCP/IPsec Compatibility in Wireless Networks

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was designed for wired networks. There exist many compatibility problems when it is applied to wireless environments, so it needs modification. There are currently several TCP performance enhancement mechanisms for TCP application in wireless environments, but they all conflict with IPsec. This paper not only analyzes these conflicts, but also proposes 4 solutions: replacing IPsec with Transport Layer Security/Secure Socket Layer (TLS/SSL) protocol, adopting the extended Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol, segmenting the TCP route, and modifying the end-to-end protection mode of IPsec. It also examines their strengths and weaknesses.
