Abstract

Experiments on high bandwidth delay product (BDP) networks assist in the design and understanding of future global networks. This paper describes the results of experiments with different implementations of TCP on a high speed ATM/SONET network over high delay and noisy channels. Comparisons are also made with host/traffic configurations over various smaller BDP systems, experimental comparisons of three different implementations of TCP; TCP Reno, TCP new Reno, and TCP SACK as a function of bit error rates (BER) and round-trip times (RTT) are presented.
