....not very accurate. It is, however, rather easy to improve the RTT accuracy through use of the TCP timestamps option [26] A sending TCP implementation can put a more accurate timestamp in the TCP timestamp field, which is merely reflected by the receiver; such a technique is suggested for TCP Vegas[7]. However, it is important not to base the retransmission timer value on this accurate timestamp, because TCP fast retransmit and fast recovery rely on the srtt variable being much larger than the actual RTT. We experimented in ns with running the TCP timer granularity at 1ms instead of 500ms, and ....

....environment, as we show in Chapter 4. Finally, an experimental TCP implementation known as Vegas attempts to implement a congestion avoidance mechanism that avoids losses by reducing the window upon a detection of an increase in the RTT (which would indicate queues building along the path) [16]. Unfortunately, TCP Vegas has not been shown to work well in a heterogeneous environment; in particular, in a satellite environment, it exhibits rather poor performance because it is very slow to probe for unused bandwidth [146] 2.1.2 TCP Performance over Satellite Links Satellite networks ....

.... Protocol (SCPS TP) for the general space environment [45] SCPSTP proposes a new TCP option which would enable several changes to basic TCP mechanisms, including the following: distinguishing between packet loss and packet errors (to react differently to the two events) using the TCP Vegas [46] congestion avoidance algorithms, identifying link outage events, performing header compression, and using selective negative acknowledgments. However, SCPS TP does not advocate a particular strategy for handling asymmetric channels, although several possibilities are discussed. A more ....

....these extensions are changes to the TCP specification, while others are implementation details that do not affect interoperability. We have adopted the RFC 1323 Timestamps and Window Scaling options [JBB92] and propose our own Selective Negative Acknowledgment option. We also adopt the TCP Vegas [BOP94] low loss congestion control mechanisms; however, we invoke congestion control only when we have evidence that losses are a result of network congestion rather than bit errors. Also, rate control optionally replaces the standard TCP ACK clocking for operation environments with highly asymmetric ....
....signaling. The destination host or other network elements (routers or groundstations) may send explicit signals to the sending TCP regarding the source of packet loss. 3.1. 1 Congestion Induced Loss When congestion control is enabled, SCPS TP uses the TCP Vegas congestion control algorithms [BOP94, DLY95] to minimize loss and facilitate the use of large windows. To achieve optimal throughput performance, TCP depends on having the receive window tuned to a value greater than the network bandwidthdelay product, but small enough to prevent congesting the network [VS94] The TCP Vegas congestion ....
