The Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) networks are being adopted as backbones over various parts of Internet. Also, TCP is one of the most widespread transport protocols, nowdays. It can be used with ATM. But, TCP shows poor end-to-end performance on ATM networks. Effective throughput of TCP over ATM can be quite low when cells are dropped at the congested ATM switch. The low throughput is due to wasted bandwidth as congested link transmits cells from corrupted packets. This paper examines the behavior of TCP over ATM with limited bandwidth in a broadband environment. As multiple VBR sources occupies most of the available bandwidth, there has been a starvation effect, so TCP sources couldn't get the chance of transmitting data. Also, throughput is proportional to the amount of buffer.

But, TCP shows poor end-to-end performance on ATM networks. Effective throughput of TCP over ATM can be quite low when cells are dropped at the congested ATM switch. As congested link transmits cells from corrupted packets, it wastes bandwidth and throughput becomes low. This paper examines the behavior of TCP over ATM-UBR using EPD switch in a broadband environment. As threshold value closes to the buffer size, the buffer can be used more efficiently, but more drops and retransmission occur. If the threshold value is much less than buffer size, efficiency becomes low, but few drops can be happen. Therefore, the decision of threshold value becomes important factor.

초고속 통신의 실현과 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 TCP/IP 통신의 전송 메카니즘으로서 ATM이 널리 사용되고 있다. TCP층과 ATM층의 상호작용이 TCP층 뿐만 아니라 ATM층에도 영향을 미쳐 처리율과 공정성의 성능이 저하되므로, ATM상의 TCP 트래픽 파라미터, 즉 TG(timer granularity)와 윈도우 크기를 적절하게 조정함으로써 TCP 흐름제어가 ABR 율제어와 상호작용하지 않는다. 그 결과로 상호작용의 영향을 최소화할 수 있으며, TCP의성능향상을 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 윈도우 크기와 TG와 같은 TCP 파라미터를 조절하여 VBR서비스상에서의 TCP 트랙픽의 성능평가를 통해 높은 처리율과 공정성을 나타내었다.

ATM network technology is generally used for the solution of integrating multimedia service in high-speed Internet. In Internet protocol based on ATM services, If single cell is lost in ATM layer, the entire TCP packet will be lost. Therefore, TCP performance will be degraded. In order to reduce cell loss, when congestion occur, UBR+EPD mechanism is proposed to improve the throughput in TCP over UBR, and ER scheme is suggested in TCP over ABR. In this paper, we analyzed the performance improvement effect of UBR+EPD with FRR (Fast Retransmission and Recovery), the adjusting EPD threshold parameter (R), and variation of MTU (Maximum Transport Unit) size. As a result, through the analysis of performance, we know that the improved throughput and fairness are shown by the proposed scheme.

Recently, the growth of applications and services over high-speed Internet increase, ATM networks as wide area back-bone has been a major solution. The conventional TCP suite is still the standard protocol used to support upper application on current Internet and uses a window based protocol for flow control in the transport layer. When TCP data uses the UBR service in ATM layer, the control method is also buffer management. If a cell is discarded in ATM layer. one whole packet of TCP will be lost. Which is responsible for most TCP performance degradation and do not offer sufficiently QoS. To solve this problem, Several dropping strategies, such as Tail Drop, EPD, PPO, SPD, FBA, have been proposed to improve the TCP performance over ATM. In this paper, to improve the TCP fairness of end to end, we propose a packet dropping scheme algorithm using two fixed threshold. Under similar condition, we compared our proposed scheme with other dropping strategies. Although the number of VC is increased, simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can allocate more fairly each VC than other schemes.

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.

The ABR(available bit rate) service has been developed to support data application over ATM(asynchronous Transfer mode) networks, and TCP is the most widely used transport layer protocol in existing data networks. Thus, the performance improvement of TCP over ABR is an issue of cardinal importance. In this paper, we propose algorithm of the adjustment of congestion window size utilizing RM(resource Management) cell information. The motivation is to use more reliable information in ER(explicit rate) field within RM cell to determine TCP window size. Simulations are performance using the suggested algorithm is improved, as compared to TCP-reno.

위성 ATM 망에서 TCP/IP 기반의 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 위성의 긴 전송지연과 이성 채널의 버스트 오류 특성에 따른 정확한 전송 성능의 영향과 분석이 요구되며, 아울러 성능 목표치가 제시되어야 한다. 본 논문은 2Mbps급 KOREASAT위성을 이용한 위성망과 지상망이 상호 연동된 실제 위성/지상 ATM LANE(LAN Emulation)을 구현하고, 위성 채널의 Eb/No와 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기, 그리고 전송 메시지 크기를 바꾸어 가면서 그때의 TCP/IP 트래픽과 FTP의 전송성능을 비교 분석하였다. 아울러 IPoA(IP over ATM)기반의 영상회의 서비스에 대한 전송 품질 및 메시지 전달 특성 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기가 증가할 때 TCP의 전체 성능이 증가함을 알 수 있으나 제한된 최대 윈도우 크기 64kbytes와 위성채널의 오류 특성으로 인해 실제 최대 전송속도는 이론상의 목표치를 달성하지 못함을 보여 주었다. 또한 2Mbps 위성링크에서 Eb/No가 6dB 이하에서는 실제적으로 제공할 수 있는 최대 전송성능의 50%이하로 떨어져 TCP/IP over ATM 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보여주었다. FTP의 경우, 파일 크기가 작으면 최대 전송속도에 도달하기 전에 파일 전송이 완료되어 대역폭 이용의 효율성 측면에서 TCP/IP의 slow start 메케니즘이 적절하지 않음을 보여주었다. 이울러 IPoA영상회의 서비스에서도 Eb/No가 약 6.5dB 이하에서는 영상이 거의 정지되고, 메시지 전달시간도 ITU에서 권고하는 목표치를 훨씬 상회하여 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보였다.

Recently the number of Internet users have been drastically increased with the introduction of WWW browsers, which requires accommodation study of TCP/IP on ATM networks. There are a number of problems in operating IP-over-ATM efficiently because of limited functions and overhead of IP. According to recent research, the alternatives to TCP/IP efficiently because of limited functions and overhead of IP. According to recent research, the alternatives to TCP/IP over ABR or UBR have been suggested, and the required capacity of switch buffer and problems in TCP/IP over ABR have been researched. In this paper, we address problems caused by the features of HTTP traffic and suggest a solution for TCP over ABR. The performance of the methods suggested in this paper is verified through simulation under limited conditions.
