With convergence of voice, data and video over
satellite, some organizations are encountering TCP/IP performance
limitations. Typical satellite links exhibit high latency and bit error
rates (impaired links), which can be challenging for the transmission of
TCP. With this connection-oriented protocol, a number of factors contribute
to its performance degradation over impaired links, including:
- The time required for an acknowledgement can severely limit the ramp
up in transmission rate
- Sender’s small window size reduces throughput
- Delay that is interpreted as network congestion versus propagation causes
reduced transmission rates
- Packet loss that is interpreted as network congestion versus corruption
causes reduced transmission rates
Comtech EF Data’s performance enhancement proxies, turboVR and
turboIP were designed to combat the inherent challenges of
transmitting TCP over satellite links. Both products provide transparent
acceleration of TCP sessions, increasing throughput over satellite links
while requiring minimal topology changes.. And, being standards-based,
supporting the Space Communications Protocol Standard (SCPS) Transport
Protocol (SCPS-TP), turboVR and turboIP can provide
reliable connection-oriented, end-to-end data transfer for user
applications. |
