Abstract

The authors present the results of research intended to assess the effect of several transport mechanisms on throughput observed between two transport users communicating over concatenated X.25 networks. A set of simulated and live experiments are used to investigate transport performance over X.25 networks. The transport mechanisms of interest (splitting, concatenation, and acknowledgement withholding) are described and the simulation results are presented. Finally, the simulation results are validated with live experiments over two concatenated X.25 networks (ACCUNET and IBERPAC). Use of the three mechanisms considered results in significant improvements in transport-user throughput.<>
