When a PDA is used as a mobile terminal in an infrastructure network based on 802.11b standard wireless LAN, we measured and evaluated the performance of multimedia data transmission. In general, PDAs are mainly used tot receiving bulk data like multimedia data. However, while a PDA as a mobile host transfers multimedia data to a desktop PC as a fixed host in such a network, the time taken to receive data from the PC to the PDA is always longer than the time taken to send data from the PDA to the PC by at least 53%. Thus, we consider some critical factors that affect the time taken to receive Our experimental results show that with the PDA the time taken to access a file for writing is longer than the time taken to access a file for reading of to 4.11 times. In addition, a dramatic change of the site of the receiver window, from 686 bytes to 32,383 bytes, prolongs the time taken to receive. To transfer data without any inter-packet interval for the PDA and to increase the size of the TCP receive buffer will be effective in improving the delay to receive data.

본 연구는 접속 요구가 많은 웹 서버의 부하를 두개의 웹 서버로 분산시켜 보다 효율적인 웹 서비스를 제공함과 동시에, 두 웹 서버의 용도에 맞게 재전송 타임아웃(RTO:Retransmission Timeout)을 독립적으로 설정하여 네트워크의 효율성을 제고하기 위해 시도되었다. 이를 위해 Linux 기반의 PC에 라우터를 구축하고, 접속의 요구에 따라 두개 중 하나의 Web 서버에 접속되게끔 라우터를 설정하였다. 웹 서버는 내부 접속용과 외부 접속용으로 구분하였으며, 각각의 서버마다 재전송 타임아웃(RTO:Retransmission Timeout)값을 다르게 설정하여 네트워크에서의 지연(delay)을 최적화시켜 클라이언트의 요청에 대한 응답시간을 최소화시켰다. 전송거리가 짧은 내부 접속용 웹 서버에는 패킷 손실이 거의 없으므로 작은 RTO 값을 설정하고, 외부 접속용 웹 서버에는 큰 RTO 값을 설정하였는데 RTT(Round Trip Time:응답시간)와 Tput(Throughput:처리율)의 출력 결과를 통해 Web 서버의 성능 향상을 확인 할 수 있다.

We proposed a method for improving a performance of TCP downstream between a desktop PC as a fixed host and a PDA as a mobile host in a wired and wireless network based on IEEE 802.11x wireless LAN. With data transmission between these heterogeneous terminals a receiving time during downstream is slower than that during upstream by 20% at maximum. The reason is that their congestion window size will be oscillated due to a significantly lower packet processing rate at receiver compared to a packet sending rate at sender. Thus it will cause to increase the number of control packets to negotiate their window size. To mitigate these allergies, we proposed two distinct methods. First, by increasing a buffer size of a PDA at application layer an internal processing speed of a socket receive buffer of TCP becomes faster and then the window size is more stable. However, a file access time in a PDA is kept nearly constant as the buffer size increases. With the buffer size of 32,768bytes the receiving time is faster by 32% than with that of 512bytes. Second, a delay between packets to be transmitted at sender should be given. With an inter-packet delay of 5ms at sender a resulting receiving time is faster by 7% than without such a delay.
