Researchers from MIT and the Irish Hamilton Institute have a version of network coded tcp tested in particular internet traffic over satellites is interesting. The bandwidth would be using ctcp can double.
In the tcp protocol, there are methods built in to check whether a given packet is correctly delivered. If this is not the case, a datapakketje again be sent to the data integrity guarantee. In mobile networks and fixed internet connections is working this mechanism is usually fine, but for internet traffic that goes through the satellites, the delay really adds up. This is the result of the so-called round trips, a half second can take if a packet is lost.
Researchers associated with MIT and the Irish Hamilton Institute propose that the application of network coded tcp can have a favourable effect on the available bandwidth on the satellites. This is possible because of the custom tcp model via algorithms the contents of multiple data packets describes. This allows a receiver possibly lost packets itself to reconstruct. Although ctcp more data packets have to be sent, many round trips are no longer necessary. Therefore, the effective bandwidth available can double.
Currently, ctcp still in the laboratory, but the authors want the protocol next year on a larger scale test, writes Technology Review. Will-and then trials are held on actual satellite links. The providers of internet via satellite, a relatively expensive method to access the internet, would be much interest in ctcp, because they their existing connections in a more efficient use and a lot of ‘low hanging fruit’ has already been used to set the bandwidth to optimize.
