ABSTRACT
Abstract:
Telecommunication networks are under stress due to rapid traffic increase. Since most of this traffic increase is due to large file transfers, this paper proposes a cross- layer transport protocol specifically designed to efficiently handle large transactions. Traffic generated from large transactions is shaped into a periodic succession of fixed-size data frames. Each transaction is then scheduled for transmission using a two-way reservation protocol.
Simulation results show that the proposed approach is capable of significantly improving goodput and end- to-end delay relative to TCP, improving efficiency of bandwidth utilization by over 40%.
