Editor's Blog: Ever tried to sack a CIO?

Comment His claim: of all the senior managers in a business, the CIO is the least likely to get the sack. HR directors, of course, can be judged on the number of people they sack and the quantities of pointless forms they manage to get staff to complete.

Worst-Case Performance Limitation of TCP Sack and a Feasible Solution

whitepaper In the present implementation of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) selective acknowledgment (SACK), every SACK block needs 8 bytes to carry information about the received packets, back to the sender.

On the Resilience of SACK and NewReno TCP

whitepaper For SACK and NewReno TCP, the paper finds that a restoration objective of 600 ms to 1 s is appropriate. The de facto requirement in traditional telephone networks is to restore failures in 50 milliseconds or less.

TCP-Peach and FACK/SACK Options: Putting The Pieces Together

whitepaper In this paper protocol refinements for TCP-Peach are proposed to allow it to be utilized in cooperation with FACK/SACK options. TCP-Peach has recently been proposed for IP network scenarios characterized by long round trip times and high bit error...

Pacing to Improve SACK TCP Resilience

whitepaper The most up-to-date TCP version, SACK TCP, was designed to be capable of surviving multiple segment loss. SACK TCP tends to send out segments in clusters and congest bottleneck routers, which could potentially degrade SACK TCP performance...

Petri Net Approach to Improving SACK TCP Resilience

whitepaper The most up-to-date TCP version, SACK TCP, was designed to be capable of surviving multiple segment loss. However, it has been found that if too many segments in one transmission window are lost, even if SACK TCP transitions into Fast Recovery, it...

High-Resilience SACK TCP

whitepaper The most up-to-date TCP version, SACK TCP, was designed to be capable of surviving multiple segment loss. However, it has been found that if too many segments in one transmission window are lost, even if SACK TCP transitions into Fast Recovery, it...

Effectiveness of TCP SACK, TCP HACK and TCP Trunk Over Satellite Links

whitepaper This paper reports the study on the performance enhancements of two extensions to the standard TCP implementation - Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) and Header Checksum (HACK) - over satellite links that are characterized by high latency and high...

TCP Implementations and False Time Out Detection in OBS Networks

whitepaper This paper compares Reno, New-Reno and Selective Acknowledgements (SACK), the three most common TCP implementations today in (future) optical burst switched (OBS) networks. In general, SACK, which considers multiple Triple Duplicated ACKed (TD...

Explicit Transport Error Notification (ETEN) for Error-Prone Wireless and Satellite Networks - Summary

whitepaper It presents simulation results on performance gains achievable for TCP Reno and TCP SACK, using ETEN mechanisms over a wide range of bit error rates and traffic conditions. This paper is a summary of the BBN Technical Report No.

TCP Smart-Framing: Using Smart Segments to Enhance the Performance of TCP

whitepaper This key idea can be implemented on top of any TCP flavor, from Tahoe to SACK, and requires modifications to the server behavior only. This paper proposes an enhancement to the TCP protocol, called TCP Smart-Framing (TCP-SF), that enables the Fast...

SCPS-TP, TCP, and Rate-Based Protocol Evaluation

whitepaper The results indicated that SCPSTP congestion-friendly options perform slightly better than TCP SACK protocols at moderate and high error-rates whereas IP rate-based protocols performed slightly better than SCPS-TP rate-based options.

A Hybrid Systems Framework for TCP Congestion Control: A Theoretical Model and Its Simulation-Based Validation

whitepaper The existence of several versions of TCP such as TCP-Tahoe, Reno, Vegas, New Reno, and Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) is evidence of the attention TCP has received over the years. This paper makes use of hybrid systems to model the transient and...

SACK TCP Resilience Improvement With OPNET

whitepaper SACK TCP was designed to be capable of surviving multiple segment loss. This paper studies the resilience behavior of SACK TCP in both cases and finds that there is a critical point at which the behavior of SACK TCP changes significantly.
