ATM is a key technology of integration of multimedia service. Recently, Many study have been concentrated on performance testing for evaluation network performance are stronger everyday. The performance testing is on evaluation of maximal throughput of network by measuring and analyzing of various performance parameters. There are two ways to test ATM network performance; one is using QoS in cell level on the point of network's view, and the other is using metric in frame level in the point of user's view. And, the standardization process is also under way. In this paper, we derive a performance requirement of TCP in TCP/IP data transmission over ATM UBR service. By applying the derived requirements to ATM and packet networks, we evaluate the performance of TCP over UBR based on the result of our simulations. Therefore, we evaluate the result of simulation and find degradation of network throughput by interaction between TCP congestion control and ATM cell drop policy. So we suggest the accelerated Vegas that modify traditional TCP Vegas in congestion control mechanism for batter network throughput.

Today, Ethernet technology is rapidly developing to have a bandwidth of 10Gbps beyond 1Gbps. In such high-speed networks, the existing method that host CPU processes TCP/IP in the operating system causes numerous overheads. As a result of the overheads, user applications cannot get the enough computing power from the host CPU. To solve this problem, the TCP/IP Offload Engine(TOE) technology was emerged. TOE is a specialized NIC which processes the TCP/IP instead of the host CPU. In this paper, we implemented a high-performance, lightweight TCP/IP(HL-TCP) for the TOE and applied it to an embedded system. The HL-TCP supports existing fundamental TCP/IP functions; flow control, congestion control, retransmission, delayed ACK, processing out-of-order packets. And it was implemented to utilize Ethernet MAC's hardware features such as TCP segmentation offload(TSO), checksum offload(CSO) and interrupt coalescing. Also we eliminated the copy overhead from the host memory to the NIC memory when sending data and we implemented an efficient DMA mechanism for the TCP retransmission. The TOE using the HL-TCP has the CPU utilization of less than 6% and the bandwidth of 453Mbps.

With the original Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) design, which is particularly targeted at the wired networks, a packet loss is assumed to be caused by the network congestion. In the wireless environment where the chances to lose packets due to transmission bit errors are not negligible, though, this assumption may result in unnecessary TCP performance degradation. In these days, many papers describe about wireless-TCP which has suggested how to avoid congestion control when packet loss over the wireless network. In this paper, an enhancement scheme is proposed by modifying SNOOP scheme. To enhance the original SNOOP scheme, CPC(Consecutive Packet Control) and ZWSC(Zero Window Size Control) are added. The invocation of congestion control mechanism is now minimized by knowing the cause of packet loss. We use simulation to compare the overhead and the performance of the proposed schemes, and to show that the proposed schemes improve the TCP performance compares to SNOOP by knowing the cause of packet loss at the base station.

From the reciprocal connection by this Internet network researchs about the efficiency improvement of the whole system is accomplished with the method which reduces delays in message transmission. From here, we will do a comparative study between the user data program protocol (UDP) and the zero copy which does not use the buffer cache to fine out the valid method to improve the efficiency. In this thesis, I will change the message copy from execution process of the buffer cache of the TCP/IP on Unix OS with process on Linux OS. The object of conversion is to show you that the zero copy which doesn't use the buffer cache from transfer control class improves the communication efficiency.

Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to Perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mainly because of congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet losses will occur more often due to reasons such as the high bit error rate and the handoff rather than due to congestion. When using TCP over wireless network, TCP responds to losses due to the high bit error rate and the handoff by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in the degraded end-to-end performance in the wireless network. There have been several schemes for improving TCP performance over wireless links. Among them, SNOOP Is a very promising scheme because of the localized retransmission. In this thesis, an efficient scheme is proposed by modifying SNOOP scheme. The invocation of congestion control mechanism is now minimized by knowing the cause of packet loss.

In the integrated wired/wireless network which consists of the Internet and moving networks, multiple wireless links are used to connect a fixed host(FH) in the Internet to a mobile host(MH) in the moving network. For use in such an environment, we propose a scheme to overcome the TCP performance degradation due to the packet losses over the wireless links without losing the end-to-end TCP semantics. The proposed scheme in each mobile router(MR) allows to obtain the information regarding packet losses over the upstream wireless links based on the received packet sequence number and the ACK number. This information is delivered to the upstream router, which enables the upstream access router(AR) or MR to quickly retransmit the lost packets. The proposed scheme has the feature to quickly recover the packet losses incurred over the upstream wireless links and the performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through simulation. It is shown that the significant performance gain can be obtained using the proposed scheme compared with the snoop mechanism which maintains end-to-end TCP semantics and does not require any additional features at the source and/or destination nodes.

Recent advancements in wireless networks have enabled support for mobile applications to transfer data over heterogeneous wireless paths in parallel using data striping technique [2]. Traditionally, high performance data transfer requires tuning of multiple TCP sockets, at sender's end, based on bandwidth delay product (BDP). Moreover, traditional techniques like Automatic TCP Buffer Tuning (ATBT), which balance memory and fulfill network demand, is designed for wired infrastructure assuming single flow on a single socket. Hence, in this paper we propose a buffer tuning technique at senders end designed to ensure high performance data transfer by striping data at transport layer across heterogeneous wireless paths. Our mechanism has the capability to become a resource management system for transport layer connections running on multi-homed mobile host supporting features for wireless link i.e. mobility, bandwidth fluctuations, link level losses. We show that our proposed mechanism performs better than ATBT, in efficiently utilizing memory and achieving aggregate throughput.

To provide mobile nodes with continuous communication services, it is important to reduce the packet losses during handoffs. The handoffs of mobile nodes cause packet losses and decrease of TCP throughput on account of a variety of factors. One of those is the congestion in the new cell. Due to the congestion, not only the node moving into the cell but also the already existing nodes that were successfully communicating in the cell suffer the performance degradation. In this paper we propose a new handoff mechanism called‘packet freeze control’, which avoids the congestion caused by handoffs by regulating the influx of traffic burst into the new cell. Packet freeze control is applicable to a wireless network domain in which FAs(Foreign Agents) are connected hierarchically and constitute a logical tree. It gradually increases the number of packets transferred to the new cell by buffering packets in the FAs on the packet delivery path over the wireless network domain. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism not only reduces the packet losses but also enhances the TCP throughput of other mobile nodes in the cell.

Performance of TCP/IP is studied on the wireless network using flow control and congestion control mechanism based on transmission rate. We discuss the elimination or the reduction of various phenomena of burst by flow controlling on transmission rate and verify that there are TCP ACK compression promblems on the queue by burst reaction while executing transmission rate controlled channels. Analyzing periodic burst reaction on the queue of source IP, the maximum value of queue is expected, which represents the applible expectation of throughput reduce and shows the improvement of performance by the reduce of throughput due to hi-directional traffic.

Recently, the use of TCP/IP protocols over wireless LANs poses significant problems. In this paper, we have analyzed transmission control protocol (TCP) packet transmission time for mobile IP over wireless local area networks (LANs) using a proposed a new random backoff scheme. We call it as a proxy backoff scheme. It is considered the transmission time of TCP packet on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. From the results, a proposed proxy backoff scheme produces a better performance than an original random backoff in mobile IP over wireless LANs environment. Also, in OFDM/quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) medium access control (MAC), we have obtained that the transmission time in wireless channel decreases as the TCP packet size increases.
