Resilient Transport Protocols
Contents |
Abstract
It has become apparent that the current Internet architecture, particularly the transport layer, was not designed to tolerate long delay, a characteristic inherent in interplanetary data links due to varying round-trip-times at the speed of light (minutes to hours instead of the few seconds TCP allows). Even more challenging is dealing with the unpredictable delay which will be found in a number of deep-space scenarios as well as mixed environments (among terrestrial, deep-space, and interplanetary networks). The objective of this project is to develop new transport control mechanisms to handle various long-delay scenarios.
Research Plan
The first phase of this research is to develop a thourough understanding of previously completed work (SCPS, IPN, DTNRG) in delay-tolerant networking, and then look for long term solutions to remaining problems. In phase two we plan to do extensive comparison and evaluation of protocols through simulation using the popular ns-2 platform. The third phase will involve creating a set of algorithms and mechanisms that are adaptable to many unpredictable delay situations. At the conclusion of this research, any open source simulation tools and code will be made freely available to support the future efforts of the networking research community.
