TCP-DR An Effective Protocol For Infrastructure Based Wireless Networks
White Papers TCP is a dominant protocol for consistent communication over the internet. The physical links are transparent from TCP that takes packet losses due to congestion only and initiates congestion handling mechanisms by reducing transmission speed.

A Multi-Layer IP Security Protocol For TCP Performance Enhancement In Wireless Networks
White Papers TCP Performance Enhancement Proxy (TCP PEP) mechanisms have been proposed, and in some cases widely deployed, to improve TCP performance in all-IP wireless networks. The basic principle is to use a multi-layer protection model and a fine grain...

A Look Back At "Security Problems In The TCP/IP Protocol Suite"
White Papers Earlier, the author wrote a paper on security problems in the TCP/IP protocol suite. In particular, he focused on protocol-level issues, rather than implementation flaws. It is instructive to look back at that paper, to see where his focus and...

The Interaction Between The DOCSIS 1.1/2.0 MAC Protocol And TCP Application Performance
White Papers The paper shows how a DOCSIS system is vulnerable to a denial of service attack by a hacker who exploits the interaction between the DOCSIS MAC layer and TCP. This paper provides insight into the interaction between the DOCSIS MAC protocol and web...

Improving TCP Throughput Over Lossy Links Using Protocol-Level Speculations
White Papers The objective of this paper is to propose a protocol-level speculation based TCP modification to improve its throughput performance over lossy links. The degradation of TCP throughput in networks with lossy links is mainly due to the coexistence of...

TCP K-SACK: A Simple Protocol To Improve Performance Over Lossy Links
White Papers This paper proposes k-SACK, a TCP variant that has considerably improved throughput characteristics over lossy links. The paper shows that when k-SACK is used over wireline internet links, it does not harm the existing TCP variants significantly.k...
