Abstract :
Traditional transport layer flow control schemes proposed for IP networks have low performance when satellite links are involved in the communication. These problems are described along with the solutions previously proposed in the literature. For each solution the advantages and drawbacks of the existing solutions are pointed out. Both real-time and non-real-time applications are considered
