    Examines the effects of errors and handoffs on the performance of TCP, and proposes some simple solutions.

  • Background: V. Jacobson, "Congestion avoidance and control," proc. SIGCOMM'88.

    Explains how TCP slow start and congestion avoidance algorithms work, and why they are needed. Useful in understanding why TCP performs poorly in the face of transient errors and disconnections.

  discussion leader: ?

    A solution to TCP performance problems in wireless cellular environments using IP snooping techniques and IP level retransmissions. There is also a short version in the 5th workshop in hot topics in operating systems, pp. 35-40, by E. Amir et al., titled "Efficient TCP over networks with wireless links."

    discussion leader: GCP

  • B. Badrinath et al., "Handling mobile clients: a case for indirect interaction," 4th workshop on Workstation Operating Systems, pp. 91-97.

    A solution to TCP performance problems in mobile environments using a split TCP connection scheme, using the base station as the split point.
