In IP networks, where bandwidth-delay product is large, a PEP (Performance Enhancing Proxy) is effective for improving the performance of TCP. The PEP splits an end-to-end TCP connection into two parts; it forwards received data from one TCP connection to another. If the maximum throughput of one TCP connection is larger than the other, the PEP has to buffer forwarding data and perform a flow control to adjust the throughput. To confirm the mechanism of the flow control and to evaluate the required volume of buffers, we investigate the flow control by experiments using Linux and report their results. |
